Manchester Utd host Chelsea in the 6th round of the Premier League at Old Trafford (Manchester) on Saturday, October 24 and the match kicks off at 5.30pm (UK).
MATCH PREVIEW
Man Utd are in the 15th place with just 6 points from their respective fixtures, albeit with a game in hand. After being thoroughly dismantled by Tottenham at home (1-6), they desperately needed those three points against the Magpies (1-4) to ease the misery inflicted by the heavy defeat against their previous boss Jose Mourinho.
As for Chelsea, after five rounds of Premier League they are 8th in the table with 8 points from a win on the opening day against Brighton (1-3), a draw from the West Brom match (3-3) and another win against Crystal Palace (4-0). In between, their only defeat of the campaign came at the hands of defending champions Liverpool at home (0-2) and most recently they were held to a draw at home against the Saints by the late equalizer (3-3).
MATCH ANALYSIS
The criticism Red Devils received after their defeat to Crystal Palace didn't subdue after their controversial win against Brighton where they left too much space, weren't aggressive enough and lost possession quite often. To make things worse, another disastrous result followed with Tottenham scoring for fun against 10-men United. It was their joint-heaviest defeat in the Premier League and truthfully, they desperately needed to pick up their game for the visit to Newcastle if they did not want to start chasing the pack already.
Meanwhile, they signed left back Alex Telles from Porto and veteran Uruguayan striker Cavani who won't be in the squad for the midweek Champions league clash against PSG, but will debut against the Blues. Also, Harry Maguire was able to bounce back from the nightmarish few weeks as the centre-back produced arguably his most confident display of the season. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said in the aftermath that Manchester Utd's season starts now after "inspirational" a comeback win at Newcastle.
As for Chelsea, the way Lampard's side opened their campaign is slightly disappointing with all the summer signings raising the expectations before the season had even started. They only have two wins so far and after the most recent league match Frank Lampard said Chelsea need to cut out individual errors after they twice relinquished a lead to draw 3-3 with Southampton. All the goals conceded by the Blues included defensive mistakes.
Chelsea shipped 54 goals last season, more than any other top ten team,but have invested heavily in more attacking options than defensive reinforcements, which could prove costly by the end of this campaign.Hakim Ziyech debuted off the bench in the final 18 minutes, and with the options of Abraham, Giroud and Callum Hudson-Odoi available to Lampard on the bench, Chelsea will not have problems scoring goals.It is at the back where they remain most vulnerable.

This two premier League stalwarts have met 44 times since 2005 and Chelsea holds an upper hand with only one win more (W16) than their Manchester rivals (W15).
Man Utd won both fixtures last season without conceding and scoring 6 goals in the process.
Anthony Martial remains on the sidelines through suspension, and, in his absence, the men to watch in the home team will be Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.
Edinson Cavani could make his Man Utd debut in the Premier League against Chelsea after missing the Newcastle game through coronavirus.
For Chelsea, big-money signing Timo Werner has found his goal-scoring touch and Thiago Silva returns to contention after he was rested against the Saints.
My prediction for this match is: Both teams to score
