Reeling after losses in the last round, Chelsea and Manchester United face off in a massive game this Saturday, between two top-six teams needing to solidify their European rankings. The early market is slightly underestimating Matheus Cunha to score for the visitors.

With Chelsea’s poor run of three EPL losses on the bounce, they cannot really afford to drop points again, since many teams have eyes set on their position. The Blues’ tough run of fixtures continues, hosting a very offensive United side, one that has made sure not to lose two consecutive games this season as well as claiming a well-deserved win in the reverse fixture. 

Looking at their recent matches, Chelsea have been very open, conceding goals in nine out of their last ten in all competitions. Realistically, they’re really in need of some points here, and given their existing open nature, we should see them pushing forward lots, allowing room in behind. 

The Red Devils are the third best in the whole league in terms of goals scored, and Carrick’s best player in terms of shots created is Cunha. He’s coming here with multiple shots taken in all of his last five appearances, scoring one, whilst two out of his last three goals have come against the top teams.

Our Chelsea vs Manchester United Prediction

In general, United haven’t failed to score in lots of games now, plus only failing to score in one away game in the league - and this was at the start of the season. Matheus Cunha has scored three goals in their last seven meetings against the top teams in the league, home and away. Specifically on the road against EPL giants, Cunha has created 14 shots and claimed two goals in five matches. 

The Brazilian doesn’t need telling twice when it comes to shooting, primarily outside of the box. He came very close with a shot from range on Monday evening, producing a total of four shots. Cunha is always hungry for another goal, arriving here with multiple attempts in all of his last five.
