Chelsea VS Manchester United

Chelsea are currently fifth on 63 points, just two points behind fourth-placed Manchester City, and in the heat of the European qualification battle, this match will be a"Life and death" for them, only by going all out to win can you keep your hopes of winning the Champions League alive. United, by contrast, are in 16th place with 39 points, no longer chasing the top spot and more focused on next week's Europa League final against Tottenham. Chelsea have won 63% of their last eight games and are unbeaten (4 wins, 2 draws) in six consecutive home games. They have won 73% of their last five home games and have scored 12 goals in all. They score 28 per cent of their set-pieces, compared with 55 per cent for United's away attempts, and Chelsea are expected to do well from set-pieces. However, the 2-0 loss to Newcastle exposed Chelsea's defensive problems, and the first-team striker Jackson was suspended due to red coloring in the last round. Wesley Fofana, Nkunku and other first-team players were also injured, this has an impact on the team's line-up integrity and offensive firepower. United have been in a poor form, not winning their last seven league matches and having problems in defence, losing 2-0 to West Ham and conceding an average of 2.2 goals in their last five away Bug. The centre-back is suffering from serious injuries, with defensive stalwarts such as de Lichter and Dalot sidelined and the defence stretched to the limit. Despite the return of key striker Hoylend, he alone could not sustain United's lacklustre attack. United have won 6-4 in their last 10 league meetings. But in Chelsea's 4-3 away win over Manchester United in the first leg this season, Palmer's cap-and-clock display was impressive. In Stamford Bridge Stadium, Chelsea have been unbeaten (1 win, 3 draws) at home to Manchester United on four occasions, but United have won 80 to Chelsea's 55 in all-time meetings, with Chelsea unbeaten in their last five away fixtures (2-3) , this history gives both sides psychological support. Taken together, Chelsea are more likely to win this game, 2-1 or 3-1, with home advantage, form and strategy
