Chelsea vs Manchester United Prediction (31.10.2026)

Chelsea played two good matches after the break against Bournemouth and Everton, but in the last round, they lost 0:2 at home to Tottenham. On Wednesday, they were eliminated from the League Cup after penalties in their away match against Liverpool. Chelsea has only two victories in the last six matches in the Premier League. Their last clean sheet at home in the league was in January, and in three out of their four home games this season, they conceded more than one goal.

Manchester United has gone eight consecutive matches without a win in all competitions. After a 0:3 loss to Bournemouth, it was expected that Carrick would be sacked. However, there was a meeting between him and the owners afterward, as well as one with captain Bruno Fernandes. For now, things seem to have smoothed over, and Carrick has been given more time. United, however, is still winless away this season and has yet to keep a clean sheet in the Premier League.

Given Manchester United's form, Chelsea is the favorite in this clash. However, the hosts are not consistent enough, so anything can happen. Additionally, Carrick and the "Red Devils" are backed against the wall. But the defensive weaknesses of both teams are a fact, as they rarely manage to keep a clean sheet, and it seems to me that they could exchange at least one goal in this case.
