* 11:30 PM, October 24, 2020, Old Trafford Stadium, Premier League 6th round
In the middle of this week, Man Utd and Chelsea played in the Champions League. While the “Red Devils” resonated with a 2-1 win over PSG in the opponent’s court, in the match at the same time, Chelsea were a bit disappointed when Sevilla drew goalless at home.
The victory over PSG changed many things about Manchester United. Just a week ago, Manchester City was in crisis, losing their last Premier League game 6-1 at home and missing all of their big goals, leading to a string of shooting. contracts hastily on the last day of the summer transfer window.
Man Utd won an impressive 2-1 against PSG
Now Man Utd once again welcomes Chelsea to Old Trafford with confidence after regaining their Premier League victory over Newcastle United last weekend, and especially thanks to a spectacular win over the Champions League runners-up from Last season. PSG at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday evening.
This is the second away win against PSG during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tenure. However, Solskjaer must also be cautious because Man Utd has fallen after beating PSG 18 months ago, lost the next two games and won only three of the next 12 matches in all competitions.
Quite accidentally, Man Utd’s bad series was halted thanks to a 4-0 win over Chelsea on the first day of last season. Of course, Man Utd is now very much looking forward to a similar victory to dispel the sadness surrounding the club. When Man Utd is confident they are still a good team, proving to be winning against PSG, so beating Chelsea is not too much.
Man Utd is playing impressively in the away field
Man Utd is currently winning 5 of the last 6 matches in all competitions, but the main concern is that all 5 wins are taking place away from home. Indeed, winning in Paris means Man Utd won 10 straight away matches in all competitions for the first time, but at Old Trafford it’s a completely different story. It was really strange that Man Utd lost both Premier League matches since the beginning of the season.
The 20-time champions are still seeking their first home score this season, they were beaten 3-1 by Crystal Palace in their opener before being insulted 6-1 by Tottenham, the worst result in the history of Man Utd in the Premier League.
Only once in their entire history have Man United lost their first three Premier League matches, that was the 1930-31 season, as they continued to top the table. Now Man Utd certainly doesn’t want to repeat a bad performance in the past. At any cost, Old Trafford must once again be the foothold of the “Red Devils”, so Solskjaer urged his students to beat Chelsea tonight.
Chelsea were goalless at home against Sevilla
On the Chelsea side, coach Frank Lampard’s army has an away record that is improving very positively, especially on the defensive side. The Blues have scored more away goals than any other Premier League club since the start of last season (42), while their away goals totaled more than any other. Any other team, with 87 goals.
Chelsea concede an average of 1.5 goals per game with Frank Lampard in the Premier League, the worst rate of any Chelsea manager who has led more than one Premier League match. Since the start of the season in the Premier League, Chelsea have also conceded 9 goals in 5 games, averaging 1.8 goals per game, higher than Lampard’s average.
The last 3-3 draw against Southampton once again showed Chelsea’s loss of points. In 2020, only Arsenal lost more points from the winning position than Chelsea, while Man Utd was the best team in terms of the ability to win at the same time.
Tuesday night’s goalless draw with Sevilla would have been relatively satisfying given that new goalkeeper Edouard Mendy now maintains two clean sheets in two appearances. It was a rare bright spot while Chelsea’s defense performed so poorly, Mendy’s presence sparked confidence that Chelsea would defend better when the Senegal goalkeeper played regularly.
Lampard is also under pressure from Chelsea’s shaky performance
Otherwise, Lampard always has Petr Cech on the bench after the manager is inducted into the Blues Premier League roster. Not beating Sevilla also means that Chelsea only won 1/5 of the last game in all competitions, they have only had one win in their last four Premier League matches.
Chelsea’s last away game in the Premier League saw them take a 3-0 lead against West Bromwich Albion, but Lampard’s army exploded in the second half to secure a 3-3 draw, however. Manchester United easy for Chelsea to move up if Chelsea continues to get off to a bad start.
In terms of schedule, Man Utd is struggling because after the battle with Chelsea, he will have to face RB Leipzig, Arsenal, Istanbul Basaksehir and the top team Everton in the next two weeks. By contrast, Chelsea have a much better schedule so they can fully focus on this trip to Old Trafford without keeping an eye on the challenges ahead.
However, it is not as if Solskjaer distributes forces or rotates the squad. The Norwegian strategist has to calculate each match and will always choose the best players to play and based on the match conditions to match. Playing with the best of strength, Chelsea will aim to beat Chelsea tonight.
Man Utd: Injury (Bailly, Lingard, Jones). Suspension (Martial).
Chelsea: Injury (Arrizabalaga, Gilmour).
