Manchester United v Chelsea, match of the sixth day of the Premier League, Old Trafford Stadium, 7:30 pm Bulgarian time.
Gol.bg’s forecast:
The big derby of the round in the English Premier League is between Manchester United and Chelsea tonight, as the hosts have increased their self-confidence following the resounding victory as a guest of PSG. The Blues finished 0-0 with Sevilla.
The Red Devils have won 5 of their last 6 games in all tournaments, but most of them have been out. In Paris, United achieved their 10th consecutive victory as a guest. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are seeking their first points at Old Trafford this season, after losing 1-3 to Crystal Palace, and then an even more disappointing 1-6 loss to Tottenham. Only once in history has United started the season with three consecutive defeats, in the 1930-1931 season.
Chelsea’s big concern is that the team allows a lot of goals. An average of 1.5 per game. On the last day, the “blues” conceded three goals and failed to achieve victory against Southampton (3: 3). The match will be remembered with Timo Werner’s first two goals for Chelsea. The good news for Frank Lampard is that new goalkeeper Edward Mendy showed a great game against Sevilla and gave a sign that he can fix the team’s goalkeeper problems.
Against PSG United he was left without Harry Maguire and Eric Bailey. The captain is in doubt for today’s derby, while Bailey will be out for 4 weeks. However, Axel Tuanzebe impressed in his absence and will likely get another chance.
Anthony Martial was penalized, which gave Edinson Cavani a chance to debut. Mason Greenwood will likely play again, while Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard are expected to start on the bench.
For Chelsea, Billy Gilmore and Kepa Arisabalaga are firmly out. Thiago Silva begins to get in shape, while another new player, Hakim Zieh, may record his first start as a starter.
Result: 2: 2
