It’s been a long time coming for Erik Ten Hag who was officially sacked from his role as Man United manager. The Red Devils have got off to a flying start under interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy and their next challenge will be a home game against Chelsea. Enzo Maresca’s team were knocked out of the EFL Cup earlier this week, with a heavily rotated XI. Ahead of the big game on Sunday, our Man United vs Chelsea betting predictions are now available.
This will be the first meeting between the two historic English clubs this season and Man United sits six points behind the Blues. Chelsea’s last win at Old Trafford was in 2013 and the Red Devils will be keen to extend their good home advantage.
| ℹ️ Tournament: | English Premier League season 2024-25, Matchday 10 |
| ⚽️ Venue: | Old Trafford, Manchester, England |
| 🗓️ Date: | 3 November 2024 |
| ⏰ Time: | 16:30 p.m. GMT on Sunday |
Both teams are tied on almost the same value in the Man United vs Chelsea odds. The Premier League sportsbooks have Man Utd to win at 2.60 (8/5) while the Blues’ odds for a win are 2.62 (13/8). A draw has the biggest value here with the bookies awarding 3.40 (12/5) for both teams to share the spoils.
Cole Palmer’s hattrick was enough to hand Chelsea a 4-3 win over the Red Devils in their last meeting. Man Utd has won the last two matches against Chelsea at the Old Trafford and they have better head-to-head statistics.
Despite the ups and downs this season, Manchester United has won two consecutive home games and the new manager bounce has already set in. The Red Devils are currently 14th in the league with only three wins from nine matches, and scoring just eight goals. Man Utd has struggled in attack with a lot of players misfiring but you can never rule out the Reds at Old Trafford. Ruud van Nistelrooy will oversee the game as interim coach and he will be looking to endear himself to the United faithful with all three points.
Summer signing Leny Yoro is back in training and this is a huge boost for the Red Devils although he is unlikely to go straight into the XI. Antony Santos, Harry Maguire, and Kobbie Mainoo are all absent from the squad to face Chelsea.
Chelsea was eliminated from the EFL Cup in midweek following their 2-0 loss against Newcastle, and that’s one competition less for the Pride of London. The Blues have fared better than Man United in the league this season and they sit in the top five with five wins from nine matches. Enzo Maresca’s team has only lost to Man City and Liverpool, two teams significantly better than the rest, and both losses were close defeats. The Blues haven’t won in four visits to Manchester but they will fancy their luck with a much changed team.
Enzo Maresca has almost all his players available for this game and Ben Chilwell is the only player doubtful for this game. Cole Palmer and Nicholas Jackson didn’t start in the defeat against Newcastle but they should return to the starting XI on Sunday.

Man Utd’s live betting odds for football is very valuable for a club playing at home, and with the team spirit very high, there’s a very good chance the Red Devils will take all three points. Chelsea isn’t great away from home and they have lost two of their last three away matches. Their only away win in that period was against a much weaker Panathinaikos side and Man United will have more than enough to trouble the Blues. The Red Devils on their part have been decent at home, beating Brentford 2-1 and Leicester 5-2 in their last two home matches. A bet on the hosts to win is a valuable option on Man United vs Chelsea predictions.

Man United and Chelsea have both conceded 11 goals in the league and they haven’t been great at defending so far. The Red Devils have conceded in their last four matches and there were goals galore against Leicester City. Three out of Chelsea’s last five games have ended with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals. Man United and Chelsea will come out to play and a bet on both teams to score & over 2.5 goals is a good offer on EPL 24/25 winner predictions.

Punters looking for goalscorer options on Man United vs Chelsea betting tips should look more on Chelsea’s Cole Palmer. Since his debut for the Blues last season, the Englishman is comfortably one of the best players in the league and he has good odds to score. Cole Palmer scored in both fixtures against Man Utd last season and he bagged a hattrick in the most recent meeting. Chelsea’s number 20 has seven goals in nine league appearances already and he was on target in his last match against Newcastle.
