With all eyes falling on Old Trafford this weekend, Manchester United and Chelsea will meet on Saturday evening for what is a blockbuster Premier League showdown.

Suffering European frustration earlier in the week as they opened their Champions League adventure with a 3-1 defeat away at Bayern Munich, Chelsea will be seeking an immediate response when they travel to their historic rivals.

In the midst of what has become another public nightmare and the pressure on Ruben Amorim’s shoulders at a boiling point, the Red Devils have only continued to break a string of unwanted records and they will once again be firmly under the microscope here.

In what is a hugely important showdown for both camps, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing Manchester United vs Chelsea Bet Builder Tips.

The Blues seeking a domestic boost

Getting their Champions League adventure underway with a downbeat 3-1 defeat away at German giants Bayern Munich in midweek, Chelsea know that they must dust themselves down immediately ahead of another blockbuster clash here.

Making real history over the summer as they were crowned Club World Cup champions thanks to a famous 3-0 romp against reigning European champions PSG, Enzo Maresca’s men should be excited by a trip to their historic rivals this weekend.

Despite only winning a trio of their previous 13 Premier League matchups away from Stamford Bridge, Chelsea will be excited by an eye-catching recent record against the Red Devils.

Landing a gritty 1-0 victory when they last met Manchester United back on May 16th, they have registered seven points from their previous three Premier League battles against Manchester United.

In fact, along with their recent success, Maresca’s side have lost just a pair of their last 11 showdowns across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to February 2020.

Amorim’s final game in charge?

While there might have been plenty of excitement around Old Trafford back in November following Amorim’s arrival at Old Trafford, it is no secret that the former Sporting Lisbon boss has a huge amount of pressure on his shoulders.

With many around the red half of Manchester firmly believing that the Portuguese tactician is incapable of turning around United’s sinking ship, Saturday’s guests find themselves in the midst of yet another public crisis.

Marking their return from September’s international break with a 3-0 drumming away at bitter local rivals Man City, the Red Devils have rightfully come under a tremendous amount of scrutiny.

Infamously crashing out of the EFL Cup on August 27th at the hands of League Two outfit Grimsby, United have recorded just a single victory from any of their first five appearances across all competitions and they have continued to show a string of issues at both ends of the pitch.

Still lightyears away from even mounting a genuine Champions League charge, it should also be noted that Amorim’s men have remarkably won just a pair of Premier League showdowns at Old Trafford since the end of February.

Palmer to play a leading role at Old Trafford

While Cole Palmer might have been forced to withdraw from England’s September squad, the 23-year-old has come roaring back in some style over the past week.

Coming off the bench and bagging a first Premier League strike of the season away at local rivals Brentford last weekend, Chelsea’s attacking talisman also notched a consolation European strike on foreign soil in midweek.

Making his 100th senior appearance for the Blues over in Munich on Wednesday, Palmer has firmly cemented his spot as the poster boy in west London following his £40million move from Manchester City in the summer of 2023.

Bagging a pair of strikes during Chelsea’s famous 3-0 Club World Cup final victory against PSG back on July 13th, Palmer has recorded back-to-back goals for the first time this calendar year.

Set to make a first Premier League start since the opening weekend, it should also be noted that the England international has recorded four goals in as many appearances against Manchester United.
