Betting Tip: Chelsea - Manchester United
Manchester United is losing one game after another in the league, and the only thing on their mind right now is the Europa League final. Chelsea, on the other hand, has no margin for error here. They need to treat this as a must-win, and they are likely to get it done, even if it’s a relatively low-scoring affair.

Chelsea
The five-game winning streak masked several underlying issues plaguing Chelsea, and a few of them surfaced in the recent clash against Newcastle. They certainly did not come out of nowhere, though it was rather disappointing for Chelsea to see several players flounder in yet another important game.
Nicholas Jackson failed his team by getting sent off in the 35th minute, and that is indicative of his two-year tenure at Chelsea - talented but undisciplined and especially inconsistent, just like many of his teammates.
Worse still, Chelsea’s most talented player, Cole Palmer, has not been himself in the second half of the season. He has consistently disappointed, and last week was no different. Chelsea were already at a disadvantage, being a man down, and the few opportunities they managed to create were thwarted by Nick Pope.
The home side had scored the opener early (2’) and added another right at the end (90’), knocking Chelsea off their perch, and making this upcoming game against Manchester United a must-win if they want to maintain their Champions League aspirations.

Manchester United
The trip to London to face Chelsea might as well be a field trip. The only thing everyone cares about is the upcoming Europa League final, an opportunity to salvage a nightmarish season. They have been nothing short of a humiliating failure in all domestic competitions.
The Red Devils faced West Ham last week and proved unable to avoid defeat, their 17th (!!) of the season, the worst tally since the 1973/1974 season. That says everything about their season, and there is nothing to play for at Stamford Bridge.
They conceded early against the Hammers (26’) to Soucek, though they did try to mount a comeback in the second half. After a couple of United chances, West Ham added another to put the game to bed.
The Red Devils should have got at least one goal after that, but Hoijlund continued his horrendous finishing performances and missed two huge chances. His team has struggled to convert their opportunities, while conceding plenty of chances themselves.
Amorim is also expected to rotate his squad, and that is a surefire way to ensure that Chelsea will have a rather easy job in their match.
