Manchester United will be hosting Chelsea on Sunday in a Super Sunday at Old Trafford as the English Premier League enters matchday 10.
Man United will be led by a new coach Rúben Amorim who signed for the club after Erik ten Hag was sacked following their 2-1 defeat to West Ham United last weekend. It has been a bad start to the current campaign for the Red Devils who are now 14th on the log with 11 points, 12 behind leaders Manchester City. They did get back to winning ways in the Carabao Cup as they beat Leicester City 5-2 to advance to the quarter finals of the tournament where they will meet Tottenham Hotspurs.
On the other hand, Chelsea have been in good form this season and they continued with their good run with a 2-1 victory over Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge. It wasn’t the best performance for the Blues but they managed to secure maximum points, moving them fifth on the log with 17 points, just one off the top four.
Clashes between Chelsea and Manchester United have transitioned from a series of five uneventful draws between October 2020 and October 2022 to far more thrilling encounters for fans. The excitement kicked off with Manchester United’s 4-1 triumph at Old Trafford in the 2022-23 season, followed by a dramatic 4-3 victory for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in one of the standout games of the 2023-24 campaign.

Prediction
Chelsea have struggled to secure a victory at Old Trafford, with their last win there dating back to 2013. Meanwhile, Manchester United could benefit from a potential “manager bounce” under newly appointed Ruben Amorim, who has taken over the squad. Although Amorim’s presence brings a sense of optimism, it remains uncertain whether he can make a significant impact in such a short time, given the limited adjustment period he has had with his new team.
Despite this daunting record, Chelsea have a real opportunity to break their Old Trafford curse this weekend. The Blues have shown glimpses of quality and resilience, and with the pressure mounting on United, Chelsea are in a prime position to capitalize. We are backing Chelsea to finally end their winless run at Old Trafford and secure a long-awaited victory.
