It is clear from these Man Utd vs Chelsea odds that the bookies have no expected winners in this game since the two teams are priced evenly, which is a bit surprising since the Blues have done better this season.

After all, they are six points ahead of Man Utd in the standings. That being said, Man Utd are high on confidence after reaching the EFL Cup quarter-final with a win over Leicester in Rrud van Nistelrooy's first game as the team's interim manager.

Man Utd preview: Winds of change at Old Trafford

After more than two years at the helm of Manchester United, during which time he was constantly under pressure, Erik ten Hag has left the building. He will be replaces by Ruben Amorim, but Man Utd legend Ruud van Nistelrooy will take care of the team against Chelsea, just like he did against Leicester in the EFL Cup, where he notched a convincing 5-2 win.

In other news, Antony, Tyrell Malacia, Kobbie Mainoo, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro, and Mason Mount are out with injuries, while Christian Eriksen is questionable.

Predicted lineup: Onana (GK), Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Casemiro, Ugarte, Rashford, Fernandes, Garnacho & Hojlund

Chelsea preview: Hoping to put the EFL Cup loss behind

The Blues have been in solid form lately, losing just one of their last six games in the Premier League. Overall, they are fifth in the standings with 17 points from nine games, seven points behind league leaders Man City. However, Chelsea enter the derby with Manchester United after losing to Newcastle in the EFL Cup.

Meanwhile, only Omari Kellyman is on Chelsea's injury list at this time, but the Blues will also be without Jadon Sancho since he can't play against his parent club.

Predicted lineup: Sanchez (GK), James, Fofana, Colwill, Gusto, Caicedo, Lavia, Madueke, Palmer, Neto & Jackson
