That makes room for the best domestic action, and on Thursday, we see Manchester United and Chelsea clash at Old Trafford from 20:00 GMT. [banner][/banner] The Red Devils hope to make home advantage count to secure a Premier League top-four finish and place in next season's Champions League. Securing the riches offered by UEFA's premier tournament is a must for a team with the kind of outgoings seen at the Theatre of Dreams. Their opponents are down in 12th with little to play for in their last two games.

Sevilla v Real Madrid Prediction: La Liga Match on 27.05.2023

The stats attached to this fixture show these teams are no strangers to meeting in important games before a vast global audience. Football fans who enjoy making predictions based on stats and form will be delighted to learn each of the last three Man Utd v Chelsea games have finished 1-1, with the previous five finishing level. Should we prepare for another draw, or can the home team nick all three points?

United holding on

Man Utd started the week sitting fourth in the Premier League table, with their stats for the season showing 21 wins, six draws, and nine defeats, with 52 goals scored, and 41 conceded. The 69 points claimed places them level on points with Newcastle in third, but the hosts have won two on the bounce and are searching for a hattrick. A home win on Thursday evening could move United up to third in the list, and that's as high as they could finish this term with leaders Man City and runners-up Arsenal miles clear. It hasn't been the kind of successful season United followers had been hoping for, but a top-four finish gives them a solid foundation to plan for next season. One final push is required, but the locals enter with confidence. [news_button][/news_button] Having claimed a maximum of six points from their last two games, United know another victory would lift them above Newcastle into the bronze medal position. Having already beaten Wolves 2-0 at home and Bournemouth 1-0 on the road, United has what it takes to add a third win to pull clear of a resurgent Liverpool that has moved to fifth in the league.

Fans feeling blue

It has been a season to forget for everyone connected to Stamford Bridge. The club's ownership changed hands, and a bright future, followed by a free-spending Christmas in the winter transfer window. Chelsea attracted some huge names, but the new faces have struggled to settle into their new environment. When reading the form, it's easy to see why the London side is in midtable and going nowhere fast. They travel to Manchester with their stats showing 11 wins, 10 draws, and a jaw-dropping 15 defeats, with 36 goals scored and 42 conceded. That's shockingly poor from a club capable of performing so much better. The Blues have lost the same number of games as Bournemouth in 15th, which worries fans. [banner][/banner] The visitors arrive at Old Trafford winning just one of their last five games and taking one point from their previous two games. Chelsea were held to a 2-2 home draw by Nottingham Forest before losing 1-0 in Lancashire against Man City on Sunday. The beaten club had a good fight but lost to a goal from Alvarez inside the opening 12 minutes. They did well to recover from losing that goal and had chances to get level.

Man Utd v Chelsea prediction

We're confident this will be a thrilling contest involving two of the biggest teams in English football. Thursday evening isn't exactly a primetime slot, but needs must as the EPL races to pick up the spare games and complete the season.

Chelsea can make life difficult for their hosts, as they did across the city at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. The stats suggest this game may end in a draw, but that's not a result that would suit either team too well.

Manchester City’s Premier League title has already been assured and they will be looking to wrap up the season in style on Sunday. Brentford will finish in a league-high position this term, and will be hoping to conclude the campaign with a third straight win.

Aston Villa vs Brighton Prediction: Premier League Match on 28.05.2023

Premier League Preview

The final round of Premier League matches will see Manchester City travel to Brentford. But, the sting has been taken out of the game after City’s spot at the top of the standings has already been assured. City come into this match in excellent form, as they have registered 12 straight wins in the Premier League, and they could just widen their advantage over the chasing pack with a victory on the final day of the season.

However, that is likely to come secondary for Pep Guardiola this weekend, as it’s hugely likely that the manager will make wholesale changes ahead of the upcoming FA Cup final against Manchester United on June 6. That could potentially open up value in siding with the Bees to deliver a sting.

Brentford has enjoyed a memorable season once again under Thomas Frank, and they have exceeded all expectations to achieve a Premier League-best performance this term. The Bees are currently ninth in the standings, but they could yet conclude the campaign in the Europa Conference League place if they pick up maximum points on Sunday.

Brentford’s form has certainly picked up over the final weeks of the campaign, as they have won four of their last five, and they will be chasing a third straight win in the league this weekend. The Bees picked up a memorable 3-1 win on the road against Tottenham last weekend, with Bryan Mbeumo netting twice.

Brentford vs Manchester City Head to Head

Since returning to the top-flight, Brentford has recorded one win in three league matches against City. That success came in the previous meeting between the sides this term, as they landed a 2-1 win in November. However, City won 1-0 on their visit to Brentford last term.

Brentford vs Manchester City Prediction

Guardiola is likely to make eleven changes for this fixture on Sunday with the FA Cup final in mind. Therefore, we will be siding with the Bees to record a first ever Premier League double over City. We could see Mbeumo once again finding the net for the Bees.
