Man Utd Eye Rare Double Over Chelsea
18 Apr
Summary
- Chelsea lost 6 of their last 9 games in all competitions.
- Man Utd aim for a rare Premier League double over Chelsea.
- This fixture has seen more draws than any other in history.
Manchester United seek to achieve a rare Premier League double over Chelsea for only the second time in history, following their September victory. Chelsea faces a difficult period, having lost six of their last nine games across all competitions, a stark contrast to their previous form. The fixture between these two clubs holds the record for the most draws in Premier League history, with 20 stalemates.
Chelsea has a strong home record against Manchester United, losing only one of their last 12 league games at Stamford Bridge. However, they are currently on a three-match losing streak in the Premier League, with the risk of four consecutive defeats looming. Manchester United have also shown vulnerability in away games, keeping only one clean sheet in their last 21 away league matches.
This match also highlights a significant trend of English managers in the top six, being the first such encounter played as late as April since 1999. Key players like Enzo Fernández for Chelsea and Bruno Fernandes for Manchester United are central to their teams' performances, with Fernández's creativity and Fernandes's assists being notable.
