United vs Chelsea predicted score with FIFA 21
To set up this simulation, we used the home mode within FIFA 21, but we did not select a team to control; then we selected the teams and watched the game unfold on its own, to give us a prediction.
The AI difficulty was set to Legendary, with the lineup updated with the latest transfers, injuries and suspensions.
We predict that United could be set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their lineup as follows: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Tuanzebe, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Pogba, Fernandes; Mata, Cavani, Rashford.
We predict that Chelsea could be set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with the lineup as follows: Mendy; James, Zouma, Thiago Silva, Chilwell; Kante, Kovacic; Mount, Havertz, Pulisic; Werner.
In our FIFA 21 simulation of this game, the chances were few and far between for both teams, despite Chelsea having a slight possession advantage over the course of the match.
The first chance of the game fell to Juan Mata, who cut inside and tried to double an effort to the far corner, but Blues goalkeeper Edouard Mendy made a great save to deflect the shot over the bar.
Chelsea forward Timo Werner had a great opportunity early in the second half, with the German forward running past Luke Shaw to try to reach the end of a Christian Pulisic cross from the left, but the former RB Leipzig forward did not He could not connect completely and De Gea made a comfortable stop.
With 15 minutes to go, De Gea kept United on a level playing field with a brilliant save to deny Mason Mount, and the Spaniard saved well with his feet from close range to deny the England midfielder.
Then there was a late turn, late in the game.
Chelsea were moving forward and doing their best for the winner in the final stages, but with seconds remaining in the game, Kai Havertz gave the ball to Paul Pogba in midfield, who put Marcus Rashford on the fast break.
The England international edged out Kurt Zouma and played a direct pass to Edinson Cavani, who took a bunt and produced a brilliant finish over Mendy to win the game for United.
