Is Michael Carrick running out of time? We look ahead to Saturday’s Premier League clash with our Chelsea vs Man Utd prediction and preview.
Chelsea vs Man Utd: The Key Stats
The Opta supercomputer backed Chelsea as the favourites; they beat Manchester United in a convincing 51.8% of pre-match simulations. Chelsea have won just two of their last 17 Premier League games against United. Man Utd could lose by 3+ goals for three consecutive matches in all competitions for the first time since 1961.Michael Carrick desperately needs a result as his struggling Manchester United travel to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
United were comfortably dispatched 3-0 by Bournemouth at Old Trafford last time out, compounding their misery after a 4-1 thrashing at Como in the UEFA Champions League just a few days prior.
With a troublesome run of form, Man Utd are nearing some unwanted records. They have not lost three straight games in all competitions by three or more goals since doing so across November and December 1961.
Carrick’s side are winless in their last eight games in all competitions overall (D3 L5) since beating Sabah in the Champions League on 10 September. They have not gone more matches without victory since a nine-game stretch in 1988.
There is also a sense of unrest in the United camp. Carrick dropped captain Senne Lammens and Cole Palmer’s red card capped a miserable showing for Xabi Alonso’s side.
Although João Pedro could be out until late November, Palmer served his one-match suspension on Wednesday as Chelsea were eliminated from the EFL Cup on penalties by Liverpool at Anfield. Marcus Rashford could come back should he pass a late fitness test.
Chelsea vs Man Utd Head-to-Head
Chelsea have struggled in this fixture in recent times, winning just two of their last 17 Premier League matches against Manchester United (D8 L7).
However, their two victories did both come at Stamford Bridge in that run, winning 4-3 in 2023-24 and 1-0 the following campaign.
Meanwhile, United – who did the league double over Chelsea last season – will be out for three straight league wins against the Blues for the first time since September 1965.
