Deciding factors · 03
Which factors will settle this match?
Home advantage, expected goals and the factor carrying the most weight here.
Home advantage
Home support is worth about a fifth of a goal to Man Utd. It closes the gap but does not erase Chelsea's extra quality.
EdgeEven
Expected goals
With 2.6 expected goals, the 2.5 line is near 50/50 (48% for the over).

Draw risk

Team shape · 05
How will the two teams set up?
Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.
At home
Manchester United
Man Utd are organised and tough to break down, and they tend to earn results at Old Trafford by controlling the middle of the pitch.
Away
Chelsea
Chelsea carry a title-level squad. They suffocate opponents on the road at Old Trafford, so Man Utd will need a disciplined low block to stay in it.
