Man Utd will take on Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday, 20 September, in a match that could determine the future of Ruben Amorim.
The Man Utd manager is under huge pressure after a poor start to the season, and another loss here could see him lose his job.
Chelsea come into the match in better form than their opponents, but they have shown in the last week that they aren't unflappable.
As part of this week's round of Premier League betting tips, check out our Man Utd vs Chelsea prediction below.

Man Utd preview: A debut for Lammens?
Ruben Amorim elected to shield Senne Lammens last weekend, but given that Altay Bayindir isn't of the required standard, the young Belgian should make his Man Utd debut this weekend. There are also rumours that Bruno Fernandes could be dropped for Kobbie Mainoo, in what would be a huge move from the manager.
Predicted lineup: Lammens (GK), Dalot, Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw, Dorgu, Mainoo, Casemiro, Mbeumo, Amad, Sesko
Last five results
- Man City 3-0 Man Utd
- Man Utd 3-2 Burnley
- Grimsby 2-2 Man Utd
- Fulham 1-1 Man Utd
- Man Utd 0-1 Arsenal
Chelsea preview: Injuries in key positions
Chelsea have injured players all over the pitch, with Levi Colwill ruled out from taking his place in the defence, Romeo Lavia out in midfield, and Liam Delap ruled out from playing up front. Boyhood Man Utd fan, Cole Palmer, will look to have a memorable day at Old Trafford.
Predicted lineup: Sanchez (GK), James, Chalobah, Tosin, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Neto, Palmer, Garnacho, Pedro
Last five results
- Bayern Munich 3-1 Chelsea
- Brentford 2-2 Chelsea
- Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
- West Ham 1-5 Chelsea
- Chelsea 0-0 Crystal Palace
Player to watch: Alejandro Garnacho
Alejandro Garnacho will play against Man Utd for the first time since leaving the club in the summer, and he will be desperate to get on the scoresheet at Old Trafford. The Argentinian isn't expected to receive the warmest of welcomes from the fans or his former teammates, which could make for an interesting watch.
