Manchester United’s turbulent season continues this weekend as they prepare for a high-pressure meeting with Chelsea at Old Trafford. The Red Devils were outclassed in last Sunday’s derby, falling 3-0 to Manchester City. Ruben Amorim’s future as Manchester United head coach remains under heavy scrutiny. As a result, Saturday’s clash with Chelsea at Old Trafford could prove decisive.

On the other hand, Chelsea arrive in Manchester unbeaten in the Premier League this season. They have claimed two wins and two draws from their opening four fixtures. Enzo Maresca’s men have scored nine goals but enter this match on the back of a midweek setback. A 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League exposed familiar defensive lapses.

The Blues will be confident given United’s form. However, Chelsea have not won a Premier League game at Old Trafford since 2013, drawing seven and losing five in their last 12 visits. But the visitors will sense an opportunity to pile further misery on Amorim and his underperforming squad here.
