United’s Old Trafford romp has been the backbone of their top-four charge

Securing a 1-0 victory against Bournemouth last weekend and now clinching back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since the start of April, Manchester United can officially finish off their Champions League quest here.

With just a single point enough to drag them over the finish line on Thursday night, a huge part of ten Hag’s success this season has come thanks to their continued performances at Old Trafford.

Despite watching their Europa League adventure come to a stunning end at the hands of Sevilla last month, United have remarkably not suffered a single Premier League defeat in the red half of Manchester since the opening weekend.

Opening Thursday’s battle priced at 3/5 with Ladbrokes’s £20 sign-up offer to secure three top-flight victories on the bounce, ten Hag’s squad should be smelling the chance to complete their top-four charge with another statement.

With an FA Cup final against their noisy neighbours now fast approaching, United have also won each of their previous five domestic showdowns at Old Trafford by an aggregate score of 9-1.

 

Chelsea’s Premier League nightmare is coming to a close

Eventually slumping to a 1-0 defeat against a heavily-altered Manchester City last weekend, it is no secret that Chelsea have endured a public Premier League crisis this season.

Failing to find any kind of stability since they shockingly welcomed Lampard back to Stamford Bridge in April, the Blues have already accepted that they will have to settle for an infamous bottom-half finish this month.

Remarkably mustering just a single win from any of their last 12 straight appearances across all competitions, the former Premier League champions can not wait to see the back of the 2022/23 campaign.

However, mustering just a single victory at Old Trafford since way back in 2013, Chelsea face a huge challenge in Manchester and they open Thursday’s heavyweight showdown priced as high as 4/1 with Bet365’s £30 sign-up bonus to claim just a second victory since Lampard’s return.

Failing to secure any kind of European football for next season and only showing a string of rather glaring issues on either side of the World Cup’s winter break, Chelsea face a huge summer behind the scenes in SW6.

 

Yet another Premier League stalemate at Old Trafford?

While Manchester United might open Thursday’s battle at Old Trafford tipped as a standout contender to officially punch their top-four return, the two former champions do have a habit for producing a stalemate.

With ten Hag’s side snatching a stunning last-gasp equaliser as they played out a 1-1 draw in west London on October 22nd, the historic rivals have now remarkably seen each of their last five straight meetings finish with both teams settling for a single point.

Likewise, along with playing out another 1-1 draw when Thursday’s opponents last met at Old Trafford 13 months ago, the last three Premier League showdowns between Manchester United and Chelsea have finished in a 1-1 stalemate.

With the Red Devils knowing that a single point will be enough to punch a crucial Champions League ticket, a sixth straight draw between the two former Premier League champions is priced at 16/5 with BetVictor’s welcome offer.

 

Manchester United vs Chelsea Betting Tip

Now claiming back-to-back Premier League victories, Manchester United will know that a single point is enough to finish off the job on Thursday night.

90 minutes away from punching a crucial Champions League return, ten Hag’s side should certainly be smelling the chance to make another statement here.

Continuing to gain a reputation for their success at Old Trafford, Chelsea’s Premier League nightmare could certainly worsen in midweek.

Recording just one win from any of their previous 12 straight appearances across all competitions, Lampard’s downbeat squad will face another huge challenge when they arrive in Manchester on Thursday.

Only claiming a single win at Old Trafford over the past decade, United are rightfully tipped as a standout contender to officially complete their top-four charge here.
