Chelsea vs Man Utd tips

Chelsea & Both Teams to Score @ 13/8
Manchester United 13+ Shots @ 17/10
Pedro Neto anytime scorer @ 9/5

Distracted United no match for Enzo’s high-fliers

This Friday night showdown at Stamford Bridge comes at the ideal time for Chelsea, who can make light work of a reshuffled Red Devils’ team.

Chelsea and United both have European finals to look forward to – but right now that’s a distraction for Ruben Amorim rather than Enzo Maresca.

Amorim’s United take on Tottenham next Wednesday in the final of the Europa League, a match that will decide if United play in Europe next season or not.

Chelsea, with a European spot already nailed down, have an extra week before they think about shackling Real Betis in the final of the Conference League.

And top of their to-do list in the meantime is trying to cement a place in the top five and next season’s Champions League which is why victory over United at the Bridge becomes critical.

Amorim has made changes galore in the last two Premier League games, losing both, 4-3 at Brentford and 2-0 at home to West Ham.

They have, though, remained positive, piling up 24 shots in defeat by the Hammers, for example. Some of Amorim’s second string have points to prove (as well as being good players) and the value bet may well be a Chelsea win and both teams to score.

Reshaped United attack not afraid to give it a go

Chelsea old boy Mason Mount and young frontman Chido Obi are among the likely starters for United in West London.

Second-string perhaps, but they are hungry to show their worth and with three goals in his last three games Mount is certainly confident.

And he’s part of a United side that may be struggling to win games, but they are piling up shots.

In their last three league games, all around the Athletic Bilbao double header when Amorim was juggling staff, they have amassed 63 shots at 21 per game. That’s way above their season’s average of 13.8.

They will get chances at the Bridge and can fire off 13 or more shots for the fourth game in a row.

Neto not to miss out against depleted back three

It’s anyone’s guess who Amorim fields in his back three with Leny Yoro the latest casualty after a knock against West Ham.

Chelsea will fancy they can bang in a few with Pedro Neto among their goalscorers.

It isn’t impossible Neto starts up front with Nicolas Jackson suspended though even cutting in off his flank he is a major threat.

Neto averages 1.7 shots per game in the league this term so does have sighters and this looks a night where he can add to his six goals for the season.
