Man Utd vs Chelsea match preview and prediction

Man Utd vs Chelsea preview and prediction Chelsea FC under Conte have won Man Utd three times and drawn twice with the Special Man and his boys only able to win just one game. Chelsea FC currently sit in 4th position 2 points adrift their opponents. Chelsea Striker issue?

Alvaro Morata have not been able to find his form since the encounter against Manchester United earlier this season.

For Spurs, Victor Wanyama was outstanding against the Gunners, thoroughly dominating the midfield, and will surely still harbour hopes of becoming the first Kenyan to win the EPL. In terms of continental qualificati...
