Favorite status granted to Chelsea in the encounter against Manchester United, as predicted by the supercomputer Opta
Chelsea are gearing up for a challenging encounter as they prepare to face Manchester United at Old Trafford in the next round of the Premier League. The Blues are currently in a slump, having lost to Bayern Munich (1-3) in their last Champions League match and suffering two defeats in their last four Premier League games, which also included a draw with Brentford (2-2).
The Blues' current manager, Ruben Amorim, will be hoping to turn things around and secure a much-needed victory. However, Manchester United have not lost to Chelsea at home in the last 12 Premier League matches, with five wins and seven draws during this period.
Meanwhile, Manchester United's midfield maestro, Bruno Fernandes, is set to make history in this match. He is set to play his 200th game in the Premier League and could score his 100th goal for the Red Devils in this fixture.
Elsewhere, Chelsea's Raúl Álavarez is facing trial for distributing an explicit video. Details about the charges or the trial date against him are currently unavailable.
In other football news, José Mourinho could be set for a return to management, with Portuguese club Benfica initiating talks with him following the resignation of Bruno Lage.
Finally, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher named England's greatest striker in a recent poll. The identity of the striker was not disclosed in the report.
According to Supercomputer Opta, Chelsea have a 46.8% chance of winning, while Manchester United have a 28.7% chance. The remaining 24.5% probability is for a draw.
As the Premier League season heats up, the clash between Chelsea and Manchester United promises to be an exciting one, with both teams eager to secure three valuable points.
