Chelsea v Manchester United

Premier League, Regular season, Matchday 9. Kick-off Saturday 31 October, 12:30 UK time, at Stamford Bridge, London.

Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

No call on Chelsea against Manchester United. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.

Preview

Chelsea will nick an ugly victory against a fading Manchester United side. United are trending down at the wrong time. Opponents created more opportunities in six of their last ten fixtures, and their last four games were their poorest yet for making and conceding chances. Chelsea have claimed victory in only two of their last six, but United have suffered three defeats in their last six and look fragile. Chelsea lose the player who makes their chances because top scorer João Pedro is out with a muscle problem. United lose a midfield runner as Patrick Dorgu suffers with a hamstring problem. United giving up so many chances will decide it.
