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.

It's not a done deal -- particularly considering Spurs' relentless form -- but despite a romping London derby victory over Arsenal last weekend, Tottenham are outsiders. Should Chelsea get over the line, Moses would become the third Nigerian to claim a Premier League winner's medal after the aforementioned Mikel and Super Eagles legend Nwankwo Kanu, who became the first player from the West African nation to clinch the title. 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...
