Team News

Mason Mount, who joined Man United from Chelsea FC, will miss tonight's clash due to his injury. However, he is making progress along with Christian Eriksen and Jonny Evans. But tonight's match comes too soon for them. Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, and Amad Diallo are also unavailable due to their respective injury. Erik Ten Hag benched Rasmus Hojlund against Newcastle United, giving Anthony Martial a chance. But Martial couldn't make an impressive impact on that game, which may open the door for Hojlund to play in the starting XI.

But Conor Gallagher is out of the squad as he saw a red card during the match against Brighton. Apart from them, Chelsea will also miss the service of Wesley Fofana, Carney Chukwuemeka, Trevoh Chalobah, Ben Chilwell, Malo Gusto, Christopher Nkunku, and Romeo Lavia because of their injury.

Prediction: Man United 2-1 Chelsea

Both Manchester United and Chelsea are not in their best form this season. But as a home team, Manchester United can get more advantage at Old Trafford because of their huge fans. In addition, Cheslea's away record is not decent enough against the Red Devils. Therefore, we expect Manchester United to win the match.

Ten Hag on Chelsea

Man United boss Erik Ten Hag talked about Chelsea in his Pre-match press conference . He said, “You can see it’s a very good team. In possession, they’re very comfortable, so that means you have to defend very good against those sides. You have to play to your best, in the levels of defending, but also we want to make it our game by dominating [with] our possession and make it difficult."
