A hopeful Manchester United will welcome Chelsea in a high-stake Premier League clash on Sunday. This will be United’s first league match since parting ways with Erik ten Hag, as Ruud van Nistelrooy steps in as interim manager.

Man United vs. Chelsea Prediction
Chelsea rotated the squad in EFL Cup loss but they will be back with a core XI at Old Trafford. Man United’s approach in the Premier League games has been shaky and Chelsea should have enough quality to squeeze past the hosts. We predict a win for the Blues.
- Prediction: Man United 1-2 Chelsea
