What to Watch For

Draw: There’s a 29 percent chance the match ends in a draw. There’s a draw in 30 percent of AccuScore sims, suggesting some added side value on the draw, but not much.

The average score after 10,000 simulations is 1.31 – 1.05, in favor of Manchester United.

Last 6: Man U — coming off a 4-0 road loss to Everton — has 4 losses and 2 wins in their last 6. Chelsea — fresh off a 2-2 home draw vs Burnley — has 4 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw in their last 6.

Playing with a Sense of Urgency: United are in a must-win situation. Well, sort of. The loss to Everton leaves them two points off the top four — with games against Chelsea and Manchester City coming up.

Head to Head: These two sides last met in Premier League action back on Oct. 20, 2018 when they finished in a 2-2 draw. More recently in Feb 2019, they met in the FA Cup when Manchester United won, 2-0.

Projected Leaders

Eden Hazard has a 33 percent chance to score for Chelsea. He averages 2.46 shots overall per sim, 1.11 shots on goal per and 0.40 goals per sim.

Analyst’s Pick

Man U to win.

There’s a 36-to-37 percent chance Manchester United win this match in regulation. That happens in 40-to-41 percent of simulations, showing some added side value on the pick. This is a 4-star (out of four) hot trend pick.
