Manchester United vs Chelsea Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 20th September 2025

Chelsea go up against Manchester United on Saturday for a Premier League meeting at Old Trafford.

A glance at the Premier League table reveals that the current difference between the teams is four points and nine places.

With eight points after four games, The Blues currently rank 5th in the Premier League standings. Manchester United play catch-up as they recorded four points in four matches, putting them up as 14th before their upcoming clash.

Chelsea are looking to widen the gap between them and Manchester United in the Premier League table when they take on each other on Saturday. The home side will be keen to prevent the difference from increasing any further.

Manchester United go into their next Premier League match, scoring a humble average of one per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane ten times, while conceding 16. That amounts to an average of 1.6 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring one times.

When it comes to goal-scoring The Blues are not the most prolific side. They scored a sustainable 17 times in their previous ten matches, making it 1.7 goals per game. They conceded seven goals for an average of 0.7 a game, achieving a clean sheet in five of these matches.

The last time these two sides facing off here came up against each other, Chelsea came away with a 1-0 win. They have a similar outcome in mind at Old Trafford, but face stern opposition, of course.

Manchester United vs Chelsea Prediction

Manchester United Form

Manchester United have seen it all in their last three matches, which added four points to their account. They first shared the points in a 2-2 draw with Grimsby, before claiming 3 points in a 3-2 win against Burnley. Unfortunately for them, this was followed by a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City. Manchester United only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Premier League matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew one and lost three, as they scored five and conceded six goals.

Chelsea Form

Chelsea show a mix of results in their previous three matches. They started well with a 2-0 win against Fulham. Then a 2-2 draw with Brentford followed before they lost against Bayern Munich with a 3-1 scoreline. Chelsea won half their previous six away matches in the Premier League, as well as seeing two draws and suffering one defeat. They scored ten goals whilst conceding six.

Form looks slightly more in favour of Chelsea than odds suggests. We believe the bookmakers have placed a little too much faith in Manchester United and we like the prices on offer for the away win.
