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.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest Prediction: Premier League Match on 28.05.2023

Premier League Preview

A huge weekend awaits Everton, as their battle to avoid relegation reaches its conclusion. The Toffees will be aware that a victory will be good enough to secure their top-flight status, but anything less would leave their destiny in the hands of the gods. A draw could enable Leicester to overtake them on the final day, while defeat could also open the door for Leeds United to escape.

Everton will at least have home advantage this weekend, as they bid to record a second win in seven matches. They come into this fixture after being held to a draw in their previous match, but we will only find out how important Yerry Mina’s 99th-minute equaliser against Wolves was at the conclusion of this final match of the season.

Bournemouth has already surpassed all expectations this season to ensure their safety in the Premier League this term. The Cherries were the favourites to finish bottom of the standings, but a victory this weekend could see them end the season as high as 13th.

Gary O’Neil has done an excellent job at the club this season, and they have won two of their previous five matches. However, their performance levels have dropped in recent weeks since maintaining their Premier League status, as they have lost each of their last three.

Everton vs Bournemouth Head to Head

The head-to-head record doesn’t make for pleasant reading for Everton fans, as they have lost each of their previous three Premier League matches against the Toffees. That includes a 3-1 defeat at Goodison Park back in July 2020. Bournemouth has also lost just once in their last seven matches against Everton in all competitions.

Everton vs Bournemouth Prediction

If there is to be a shock on the final day of the season, then it looks set to come at Goodison Park. Everton has lost their last four in all competitions against the Cherries, which already includes two defeats this season. We are going to lean into that trend and side with a win for the Cherries this weekend.
