Man United vs Chelsea Prediction and Betting Odds: Recent Form

Manchester United have found itself in a peculiar position yet again after the giant side failed to go deep in any of the tournaments that they were part of. After failing to take down Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, they were eliminated in the FA Cup final comfortably.

To make things worse, they have lost three of their last 5 outings against the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, and Everton with the lone victory coming against the minnows Norwich City. As a result, they are scrambling to stay in the top 6 with West Ham 2 points behind them.

On the other hand, the European Champions Chelsea have done a great job but have been unlucky to find themselves on the wrong side of the results. After getting eliminated in the Champions League quarterfinal in a thrilling encounter against Real Madrid, they did well in FA Cup to set up a final clash against Liverpool.

Looking at their premier league campaign, the side that was looking like finishing in the top 2, is struggling to hold on to 3^rd position after defeats to Brentford and Arsenal in the recent past reduced their chances significantly.
