Manchester United and Chelsea are clashing at Old Trafford in round 37 of the English Premier League. United is not doing well, they are falling apart, losing games, and I think they can’t wait for this season to end. Chelsea is not doing much better right now, they are inconsistent, and they are barely scoring goals as of late.
United has won only 1 of their last 6 games, and that was against Norwich, which is not something to brag about, to be honest. With 54 points, United is now in 6th place, which is the Conference League spot, and honestly, they are too far from the Champions League spot to qualify even if they win all of their games. Defensively, United has been terrible, and changes will be made in the offseason. Erik ten Haag will be the new head coach for United next season, and that is a fantastic move for this team because they have the talent, but they didn’t have a coach who knows how to utilize that talent. Ronaldo is the leading goalscorer for United with 16 goals. Cavani, Shaw, and Pogba are all injured for United at the moment. This is probably the worst season United has had in years, and as it’s coming to an end, United is doing worse. I’m sure their fans are having a lot of fun.
Chelsea has been embarrassed by Arsenal a couple of weeks ago, and almost again by West Ham, but that late goal has saved their asses. Chelsea is now in 3rd place in the EPL, and I would say they are pretty safe there, and we will be seeing them in the Champions League next season. with only 27 conceded goals, Chelsea is still one of the best defensive teams in the league, but it was announced they will be losing Rudiger who is going to Real Madrid at the end of this season. offensively, Chelsea was solid for most of the season, and they have scored 67 goals so far. Mount has been the best player for Chelsea with 10 goals and 9 assists. Chilwell, Hudson-Odoi, Kovacic, and Rudiger are injured. Chelsea has entered a bit of a slump at a bad time, it cost them the Champions League spot in the semifinals, but they are playing in the FA Cup finals which is the only trophy they will be able to win this season.
When playing at home, United hasn’t lost to Chelsea in their last 8 games, but Chelsea has lost only 2 games on the road so far this season. Yes, United is terrible, and I will not bet on them, but this is a big matchup, and they could step up. I see goals in this game, and I will take them.
