Manchester United welcome rejuvenated Chelsea to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon in what promises to be an action-packed game. With United set for another new era post-Eric Ten Hag, Ruud Van Nistelrooy takes charge here before being succeeded by Sporting manager Ruben Amorim next week.
United must turn their season around, currently sitting 14th in the league following an exceptionally disappointing start to the season. The famous ‘new manager bounce’ could certainly come into effect here. Both sides on show here have frantic but exciting styles of play. It’s a fixture that looks almost certain to provide us with goals. Man United have seen BTTS in their previous four games in all competitions. Defensively, they have struggled at Old Trafford, conceding in seven of their last 10 home league games, However, impressively, they’ve managed to score in 11 of their previous 14 home games in the league.
As for Chelsea, they have had a bright start to the season under new boss Enzo Maresca. Currently sitting fifth and only been defeated by Liverpool and Manchester City, the Blues have managed 19 goals in nine league games – the second best in the division behind Manchester City. However, keeping just two clean sheets in their previous 20 Premier League games away from home indicates their vulnerability defensively on the road. The Blues have scored in 7/9 league games and have seen BTTS in 6 of these.
Last 6 H2H meetings: 4-3, 2-1, 4-1, 1-1, 1-1 and 1-1.
Pairing the goals market with Alejandro Garnacho shots looks good value. The Argentine is showing signs of his brilliant best; he will cause this Chelsea defence some problems.
Garnacho shots: 4, 3, 8, 3, 5, 3, 3, 2
TIP: Both Teams to Score & Garnacho Over 1.5 Shots @ 1.75 (Bet365)
