by Bradley Gibbs in Premier League Picks
One of Saturday's biggest EPL games takes place at Old Trafford, where Manchester United and Chelsea are due to clash, kicking off just after midday for those viewing in the US. The hosts have been preparing for this all week following their rather disappointing and lacklustre display against their city rivals, though the visitors have had continental soccer on the brain, playing in Germany on Wednesday night, where they lost to Bayern. Enzo Maresca's men will need to dust themselves down and deliver an improved display in Manchester, where they haven't won since 2020.
This is a big, big game for United head coach Ruben Amorim, who is now under serious pressure. Last weekend, it was clear for all to see that the Red Devils cannot compete against the best teams, and if they deliver another toothless performance here, then the position of the Portuguese manager will be hanging by a thread.

Manchester United - Chelsea: Form Analysis
Let's be honest, this season is yet to go well for the Red Devils, who looked in a sorry state last weekend, losing by three goals to zero against a Manchester City team that never really needed to get out of second gear. Prior to that, Ruben Amorim's men beat Burnley in front of a home crowd, though their performance was far from convincing.
We're four EPL games in and Saturday's hosts have picked up just four points, which isn't good enough.
Meanwhile, the visitors are in decent shape domestically, winning two and tying two of their first four EPL games. Enzo Maresca's men built on an opening-day tie with Crystal Palace by battering West Ham, before delivering a discipined performance to see off Fulham. Sure, last weekend, they weren't so good against Brentford, tying 2-2, but they were likely playing with one eye on their midweek UCL assignment.

Manchester United & Chelsea Squad Analysis
Disappointingly, the hosts will not be able to call upon the services of Matheus Cunha, who continues on the sidelines due to injury. Diogo Dalot is out with a muscle problem, while both Mason Mount and Lisandro Martinez are also sidelined. The Blues will continue to be without Benoit Daishile, Levi Colwill and summer signing Liam Delap.
Dario Essugo is another absentee for the visitors, as is Romeo Lavia.
Both Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro started on the bench last weekend, but as United were easy to play though, Amorim could recall both of those, while for the visitors, there could be a starting place Alejandro Garnacho, who joined from Manchester United in the summer.

Our Manchester United vs Chelsea Prediction
At the end of the day, the hosts need to get on the front foot here and be positive, especially as they're facing a team that had a tricky midweek game away in Germany. If the Red Devils can push forward and get Bryan Mbeumo on the ball, then they can definitely threaten. Mbeumo has easily been United's most effective final-third player this season, taking more shots than anyone else, averaging a very encouraging 0.44 xG per 90 minutes. As poor as the hosts have been, a player of Mbeumo's quality looks a little generously priced to find the net.
Our Man United vs Chelsea Pick: Bryan Mbeumo to Score.
