Chelsea vs Manchester United Prediction: Premier League Match on 04.04.2024

Date and Time: Thursday, April 4, 19:45 GMT

Venue: Stamford Bridge

Team Overview

Chelsea are Looking for a Sixth Consecutive Match Without Defeat in the Premier League

Mauricio Pochettino will look to reignite his side after the disappointing 2-2 draw at home to relegation-threatened Burnley last time out.

Although they are unbeaten in their last five, they have won just twice in this run, with three draws. They will look to return to winning way at home when they host Manchester United on Thursday.

Manchester United Have to Return to Winning Ways to Preserve the Dwindling Chances of Qualifying for Champions League Next Season

After the dispiriting draw at Brentford that flattered them, Erick Ten Hag will look for a response from his side when they take on Chelsea on Thursday.

Manchester United have just two wins from their last five outings in the Premier League, losing twice and drawing once in this run.

Sitting 6th on the table with 48 points, 11 points adrift of the top four, United will need to start winning in the run-in to bolster their chances of making it into the top four.

Player Focus

The midfield area will be essential for Chelsea in this match. Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez will be pivotal in manning the middle of the pack and giving Chelsea the rhythm they need to be creative going forward and robust defensively.

The pace of Rashford and Garnacho in wide areas will be a source of danger for Manchester United. The visitors will want to release their widemen early and have them running at the Chelsea fullbacks. 

Football bet predictions indicate that the side that will be solid enough in this match will bolster their chances of winning; it is expected to be an open end-to-end match.

Tactical Analysis

Expert football predictions show that Chelsea will keep their 4-2-3-1 formation that Pochettino has widely used this season. This will give them a base in midfield to dominate the ball and avoid being overrun by the United midfielders.

Football predictions analysis show that Manchester United will mirror Chelsea’s formation by having two sitting midfielders in the middle of the pack and three attacking players behind the striker.

Chelsea vs. Manchester United Expert Analysis

Eight points separate Manchester United in 6th on the table and Chelsea in 11th. These two sides are lacking in the confidence and composure they are traditionally known for.

Heading into this match, Manchester United have had the better form across this season, and they dominated the match the last time the two sides met at Old Trafford, winning 2-1, highlighting why football predictions are backing an away win. 

Traditionally, this is a tight match. However, the visitors will have the edge given their current form and the uncertainty in the Chelsea squad, their relative inexperience, and Manchester United’s firepower.

Betting Odds

On paper, 22bet have Chelsea as the favorites based on free football predictions on the site, with odds of 1.94 to Manchester United’s 3.36, and a draw is available at 4.14.

22bet will also provide live prediction football after kickoff on Thursday to add to the offerings in the site during this clash.

These traditional Premier League giants are having a very indifferent season for different seasons. Chelsea are buckling under pressure to perform after heavy spending leading into this season, while Manchester United’s failure to kick on under Erick Ten Hag is posing more questions than answers.

However, Chelsea are increasingly uncomfortable playing in front of an increasingly hostile home crowd, and any sign of trouble could see the boo-boys return.

Manchester United is the football pick to win this match, returning to winning ways and retaining their outside chance for a late push for the top four.
