Manchester United vs Chelsea

Manchester United have won consecutive home league games within the same season, under the same manager for the first time since December 2023, under Erik Ten Hag – with the second game in that run also coming against Chelsea.

Chelsea are winless in their last 13 Premier League away games against Manchester United (D7 L6), against no other side have they ever been on a longer such run on the road in the competition.

Bruno Fernandes scored his 100th goal for Manchester United in all competitions, while he also became the fifth player to score on his 200th Premier League appearance for the Red Devils (after Denis Irwin, Phil Neville, Wayne Rooney and Antonio Valencia).

Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League home games against Chelsea (W5 D7) since a 0-1 defeat in May 2013. Indeed, Chelsea’s win rate of 18% at Old Trafford in the Premier League (6/33) is their lowest away to any side they have visited 10+ times in the competition.

After their 1-0 win in May, Chelsea are looking for successive league victories over Manchester United for the first time since winning three in a row from November 2009 to March 2011 under Carlo Ancelotti. The Blues’ two wins in their last three league games versus the Red Devils (D1) are as many as their previous 17 beforehand (W2 D9 L6).

Chelsea vs Manchester United is the most drawn fixture in Premier League history, finishing level 27 times. 14 of those draws have come at Old Trafford, with Everton against Spurs at Goodison Park the only fixture at a specific venue to be drawn more often in the competition (17).

Manchester United have won two of their last three home Premier League matches (L1), as many as in their previous 11 at Old Trafford combined (W2 D2 L7). They are looking for consecutive home league victories within the same season and under the same manager for the first time since December 2023 under Erik ten Hag.

Only Manchester City (8.5) have a higher expected goals total than Manchester United (8.3) so far in the Premier League this season. However, only Burnley (9.4), Aston Villa (7.4) and Wolves (7.2) have a higher xG against than the Red Devils (6.9).
