We look ahead to Sunday’s WSL midday kick off at Leigh Sports Village with our Man Utd vs Chelsea prediction and preview. Both teams dropped points on the opening day, so who will bounce back?
Man Utd vs Chelsea: The Key Stats
According to the Opta supercomputer, Chelsea are tipped for their first win of the season, emerging as victors in 48.1% of the 10,000 simulations. Chelsea are the only team that Manchester United have never beaten in the WSL, failing in all 13 attempts (D2 L11); only four teams have faced an opponent more times in the competition without winning. Chelsea have won 17 of their 20 meetings with Man Utd across all competitions (D2 L1), though did draw this fixture last season 1-1 at Leigh Sports Village.It is only Matchday 2 of the 2026-27 Women’s Super League season, but both Manchester United and Chelsea already find themselves in need of a statement result.
Neither opened their campaign with a win, and an early meeting between two of the league’s established ‘big four’ could have an important bearing on the tone of their respective seasons.
Manchester United lost their opening game to London City Lionesses, and are enduring their longest winless run since reforming in 2018 (D2 L3).
Chelsea began a WSL season without a victory for only the third time in their history after a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa. On both previous occasions, they then failed to win the title.
Despite earning a point in this fixture last season, United’s record against the WSL’s other established ‘big four’ clubs remains a concern.
Since the start of 2023-24, the Red Devils have won just one of 18 league matches against Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City (D6 L11), collecting nine points from a possible 54. Chelsea, by comparison, have picked up 36 points in such fixtures.
Yet there were reasons for concern in the champions’ opening-day draw with Villa. Chelsea registered 35 shots, the most they have ever attempted in a WSL match without winning, generating 3.6 expected goals (xG).
More worryingly, the Blues have failed to win five of the 19 league games in which they have taken the lead since the start of last season (D5), as many as across the previous 87 such matches combined.
