Manchester United v Chelsea Premier League Betting Tips 03/11/24

Manchester United host Chelsea in a high-profile Premier League encounter on Sunday afternoon, so here is our Manchester United v Chelsea Premier League Betting Tips. It’s been a busy week for the Red Devils. A defeat at West Ham signalled the end for Erik Ten Hag, replaced by interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy. Chelsea have also seen plenty of action in recent weeks as they try to build Premier League form under Enzo Maresca. This is set to be a tight and interesting clash against two big top-flight sides. The game kicks off at 4:30 p.m. It will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Form and Team News

United had won just once in their previous eight, form which led to the club’s sacking of Ten Hag. The final straw came at West Ham on Sunday, where the Red Devils lost 2-1. However, van Nistelrooy took charge for his first match on Wednesday in the EFL Cup. United were on top form as they thrashed Leicester 5-2 to advance. Chelsea have also had a mixed bag of results lately. The West Londoners were on a five-match winning streak before a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest. A 2-1 loss to Liverpool and wins over Panathinaikos (4-1) and Newcastle (2-1) followed. But Maresca’s side couldn’t seal three victories in a row. They lost 2-0 at Newcastle in the EFL Cup on Wednesday.

United will be without defenders Noussair Mazraoui, Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro. Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount are also out, while Anthony is an injury doubt. Jadon Sancho is unable to face his parent club and is unavailable here.

Match Winner Bet

This match sees two well-matched sides coming up against each other, and the bookies have struggled to call a winner. United’s recent form is poor, as they’ve sealed just five points from as many Premier League games. A disappointing start leaves the Red Devils 14th in the table. But the new manager bounce could play a part in front of a positive home crowd at Old Trafford. United pulled out a big result in mid-week, and they are backed at 8/5 by Bet365 to win again on Sunday. Chelsea have also been given 8/5 odds for a victory by Paddy Power. Defeat at Newcastle means the Blues have lost consecutive domestic away matches for the first time since April. Yet Maresca is likely to restore a full-strength side at Old Trafford, perhaps giving them an edge. With the two sides well-matched on the pitch and in the pre-match odds, we are expecting a draw. Chelsea haven’t beaten United at Old Trafford in their last four visits, including four draws. United also won’t want to drop any more points through defeats, and we can see this one being a tight stalemate. QuinnBet has the best odds here at 29/10.

BTTS (Both Teams To Score) Betting

If United’s first outing under van Nistelrooy is a sign, then we can expect the home side to play front-foot football. This combined with Chelsea’s expansive style under Maresca means goals could flow at Old Trafford. These sides also haven’t been goal-shy this season. The Red Devils have scored and conceded 12 in their last six, while the Blues have seen BTTS in six of their previous seven. All signs point towards an end-to-end clash and going for Betway’s 17/40 odds for BTTS could be a nice bankroll builder.

Anytime Goalscorer

In the anytime goalscorer market, Man United captain Bruno Fernandes catches the eye. The midfielder put in a much-improved display against Leicester on Wednesday and contributed with two goals. These were the Portuguese’s first domestic goals of the campaign, and the all-action midfielder may build goalscoring momentum from here. Another Fernandes goal looks like a nice outsider option, with Bet365 offering 13/5 odds. But the man of the moment is Chelsea’s Cole Palmer. The creative forward is improving game by game and looks unplayable when he hits top form. Palmer has already scored seven league goals in the 2024/25 campaign, and he struck a hat-trick against United when the sides last met in April. On current form, Palmer is the man to back, and he is our main goalscorer pick this Sunday. At 6/4, William Hill has the best potential returns for Palmer to keep scoring.
