Chelsea vs Manchester United: Match Preview







Preview


Chelsea take on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United on Monday at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup Fifth Round. The two teams met in The FA Cup Final at Wembley last year where Chelsea emerged victorious.

However, this is a new Manchester United team under a new manager who have looked very good recently. Having lost 2-0 at home to Paris Saint Germain last week, the Red Devils would now have all their focus on winning the FA Cup.

Team News

 

Ruben Loftus Cheek will miss the game for The Blues because of an ongoing back injury.

For Manchester United, Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard are both set to miss this important encounter because of injuries sustained against PSG.

Prediction


Chelsea recently lost 4-0 to Bouremouth and suffered an embarassing 6-0 defeat against Manchester City as well. They do not look in great form at the moment. Sarri's men will have the advantage of playing at home. But the Manchester ReUnited under Ole have only lost one game under their new manager and are clearly the favorites for this game as well.

Chelsea vs Everton: Match Preview

Match Preview Chelsea host Everton this weekend at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are yet to be beaten this season and it looks unlikely that it is happening any soon. A win would take Chelsea to second ahead of the Manchester Derby at night. While for the in form Everton, the three points against Chelsea would be some bonus before the International Break. Prediction: Everton are playing well, and Marco Silva's men always have a plan against every opposition they play. So I expect this to be a tough game for Chelsea. But I do think Chelsea will emerge victorious with the quality they have got. I go for a 1-0 victory for The Blues.
