Preview: Chelsea vs. Manchester United - Team news and prediction

Two big teams that have disappointed this season meet in a match that both teams must win in the pursuit of European spots this season. United are currently 6th with 48 points, while Chelsea are 12th with 40 points, albeit with one game in hand, so with a win in tonight's match, Chelsea can glimpse tonight's opponent in the table. 

We expect a game where Chelsea will try to dominate and set the pace. In their last five matches across all competitions, there have been over 2.5 goals, indicating the likelihood of another high-scoring game. Currently, Betway offers odds of 1.45 for over 2.5 goals.

Both teams have a tendency to score late goals lately, and right now, Bet365 offers odds of 1.83 if there's a goal after the 73rd minute in the match. 

Team news: 
Both teams are heavily affected by injuries. Most recently, Malo Gusto and Ben Chilwell are doubtful for tonight's match, while Manchester United will be without Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez, who are sidelined with longer-term injuries.

Chelsea expected lineup: 
Petrovic; Gusto, Silva, Badiashile, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Palmer, Gallagher, Sterling; Jackson. 

Manchester United expected lineup: 
Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Wan-Bissaka; Mainoo, Casemiro; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund. 

Prediction: 
We believe in an open game where the spectators will be thoroughly entertained. Therefore, we suggest over 3.5 goals in the match at odds of 2.00 with Bet365.
