Man United & Chelsea both struggling for form & defensive stability.
6 of last 10 meetings have ended in a draw; both teams tend to score.
Prediction: Draw likely, with more goals expected in the second half.

Manchester United vs Chelsea

Manchester United are seeking the spark for their campaign as they host Chelsea in an English Premier League fixture on Saturday.

The Red Devils are still trying to get going this season, while the Blues have had a few stumbles so far. This is one of the most drawn fixtures in the league, and both teams could be set to cancel each other out once again.

Manchester United News

Manchester United head into Saturday's clash off the back of a 3-0 defeat at Manchester City last time out in the Premier League. They saw plenty of possession and had chances to score but were a bit wasteful in attack.

That result means Manchester United have picked up just one win across all competitions this season. Ruben Amorim's team have also drawn two of their last four matches coming into this clash.

Manchester United have struggled to keep things tight at the back lately and are without a clean sheet across all competitions this season. However, they have scored in three of their last four matches in all competitions.

Chelsea News

Chelsea are coming off a disappointing showing on their return to the UEFA Champions League, having suffered a 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich on Wednesday. They were no match for the German champions, with Cole Palmer's effort proving a mere consolation.

That result highlights Chelsea's erratic showings this season, having picked up just two wins from their last five matches across all competitions. They have played out two draws in this run, including a 2-2 scoreline at Brentford in their previous Premier League fixture.

The draw at Brentford highlights Chelsea's issues this season as they often show quality going forward while struggling to keep things tight at the back. Enzo Maresca's team have scored and conceded in three of their last four matches across all competitions.

Head to Head

Manchester United and Chelsea have three wins each, with six draws in the last 12 matches. Last season's meeting at Old Trafford ended in a 1-1 scoreline.

Verdict

Man Utd v Chelsea

Neither defence has been convincing this season, and with both teams scoring in seven of their last eight meetings, a repeat is on the cards here. There have been more goals after the break in five of the last eight matches between both teams and a similar pattern is expected.

This is one of the most drawn fixtures in the Premier League, with six of the last 10 matches between Manchester United and Chelsea ending in stalemates. Both teams are expected to cancel each other out for a draw once again.
