Keeping the faith with Manchester United is a risky business but there are reasons to believe they can at least hold their own against Chelsea on home turf.
The Blues have gone 12 visits to Old Trafford without a win and must recover from a tough midweek Champions League battle with Bayern Munich here.
This fixture ended all square last November and 5/2 for another draw is our first Man United vs Chelsea prediction.

Head-to-Head
Man United vs Chelsea Head-to-Head Record
Chelsea have come out on top in the last two meetings at Stamford Bridge, but only by the narrowest of margins and it has generally been tight between these sides.
More than half of their past 13 Premier League encounters have ended in stalemate, with five of those games being drawn 1-1, including the last four times they have shared the spoils.
Looking at the Man United vs Chelsea odds, it is 13/2 for that scoreline to come up once more.

Admittedly, we paid the price for sticking with United in last Sunday’s Manchester derby, which resulted in a humbling 3-0 defeat for Ruben Amorim’s men.
It could be argued that the Red Devils played better than that bare result suggests, with Bryan Mbeumo forcing Gianluigi Donnarumma into a fantastic save and Casemiro missing a great late chance.
A general lack of quality in the final third was frustrating, though, with left wing-back Patrick Dorgu repeatedly wasting good chances to fire in anything resembling an accurate cross.
Who Will Score First? - Man United v Chelsea PL 25/26
Putting aside the Grimsby EFL Cup debacle, United’s general play has been encouraging this term, as they put plenty of pressure on Arsenal at this venue in a 1-0 loss before drawing away to Fulham and then edging out Burnley 3-2.
Mbeumo, who struck 20 goals in the Premier League for Brentford last term, has been one of the plus points and 9/4 for him to get on the scoresheet for the third time in four matches is fair value.
Chelsea Form Guide

The Blues are a bit like United in that they regularly fail to fulfil their true potential, as highlighted when held to a 2-2 draw by Brentford at Gtech Community Stadium.
Chelsea had almost 66 per cent of the possession that night and led 16-7 in terms of attempts on goal, but Fabio Carvalho tapped in an equaliser for the Bees in the third minute of stoppage time.
To be fair, there wasn’t much Enzo Maresca’s side could do about Wednesday’s 3-1 loss to a Harry Kane-inspired Bayern Munich.
Cole Palmer finished off a wonderful counter-attack to keep the Blues in contention but they were generally outplayed by the German giants - and made to pay for defensive errors.
There was at least another promising cameo from substitute Alejandro Garnacho, with the former United winger having provided an assist after coming off the bench at Brentford.
If Maresca opts to freshen things up and give the Argentina international a first start, 11/4 for Garnacho to score at any time at his old stomping ground would be worth adding to our Man United vs Chelsea betting tips.
Don’t forget he did hit a double against Chelsea for United at Stamford Bridge a couple of seasons ago.
