Chelsea is currently still in 12th position with 40 points from 28 matches, there are eight points different from MU who are now in sixth place which is the final limit for the European zone.
Chelsea cannot afford to lose any more points if they don’t want to fall further behind. Playing in Europe next season is mandatory for the Blue regarding the club’s income.
Chelsea is currently the favorite to beat MU, whose performance has also fluctuated this season. However, Chelsea should remember their bad record when they met MU recently.
Quoted by Opta, of the last 12 duels, Chelsea has never been able to beat MU with seven draws and five losses. This includes the 1-2 defeat at Old Trafford last December.
Chelsea got their last win with a score of 1-0 on 5 November 2017 through Alvaro Morata’s goal in the 55th minute. This is Chelsea’s worst record when meeting a Premier League team.
MU has never lost in its last five visits to Chelsea, with one win and four draws. Can MU continue its good record or will Chelsea succeed in ending it?
