We look ahead to Friday’s Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge with our Chelsea vs Man United Premier League predictions and odds.

The Blues’ hopes of top-tier continental football were dented at the base of Newcastle United last time out whilst the Red Devils suffered a sobering defeat at home to West Ham United.

If you’re betting on the Premier League, you should know that Manchester United extended their winless run in the Premier League to an astonishing seven matches on Sunday afternoon, when goals from midfielder Tomas Soucek and winger Jarrod Bowen secured a 2-0 win at the Theatre of Dreams for West Ham.

After seeing red during the first half at St James’ Park last weekend, Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson is suspended for his side’s remaining Premier League matches of the season, according to the latest Premier League news.

Chelsea enters this clash as a favorite at -265 with the Premier League odds. You can stream it on FuboTV on Friday at 3:15 p.m. ET.

 

  • Chelsea has won five of their last six games.
  • Chelsea is fighting for a top-five finish while Manchester United has nothing to play for.
  • United is winless in seven in the league, losing five.
  • Manchester United has scored 11 of their 21 Premier League away goals this season after the 75th minute.
  • Both teams scored in each of the previous seven head-to-heads between the two sides.
  • The Red Devils have failed to score in 14 of their 36 Premier League fixtures this season.

 

2 Best Bets for Chelsea vs Man United

1. Chelsea (-1.5)

The Blues are battling for a top-five finish and a place in next season’s Champions League while United is destined to finish in the bottom half, per Chelsea vs Man United EPL stats.

The Red Devils appear to have very little interest in picking up any more Premier League points as they put their full focus on their Europa League final against Tottenham.

United is likely to rest their key players ahead of next week’s crunch clash at San Mames, meaning that their winless run in the Premier League should extend to eight games, and that’s why they enter this match as underdogs with the current soccer betting lines.

The difference between the two sides is big at this point of the season, so if you’re looking for a great bet to include in your English Premier League picks and parlays, back Chelsea to cover the -1.5 spread.

Bet This Pick: Chelsea (-1.5)



2. Best Player Prop Bet: Enzo Fernandez Anytime Goalscorer (+300)

With a few Chelsea goals expected and Jackson missing, it could pay to look a little further down the betting for a potential scorer and Enzo Fernandez stands out.

The Argentina international scored against Liverpool in Chelsea’s last home league game and has been making an impact in attack, with four assists and one strike across his last five appearances across all competitions. So if you’re looking for great soccer player props, back him to find the back of the net against Man United.

Bet This Pick: Enzo Fernandez Anytime Goalscorer (+300)
