• Kick-off: 20:15 UK / 21:15 CEST
• Venue: Stamford Bridge

Chelsea will be looking to keep alive their hopes of Champions League football qualification alive this week when they play host to Manchester United.

After beating champions Liverpool 3-1 a week ago, the Blues sealed their place in the Conference League final with a 1-0 win over Djurgarden a few days later, but they couldn't celebrate another victory last weekend. Enzo Maresca's men suffered a 2-0 defeat to fellow Champions League chasers Newcastle United at St James' Park while also failing to score for the first time in nine games.

Manchester United themselves booked their place in a European final over a week ago with a 5-star performance that saw them beat Athletic Club 4-1 in the second leg, but they once again disappointed in the league last weekend. The Red Devils failed to keep a clean sheet for the fifth league game in a row, while also suffering their fourth defeat in five games in the competition as they conceded two goals without responding against West Ham last weekend.

Chelsea vs Manchester United Betting Tips: Chelsea to win & Both teams to score

With Man United having nothing left to play for in the Premier League and the Europa League final less than a week away, Chelsea will be favorites to win and I'm backing the Blues to take all three points. Enzo and Co. have won their last three games at the Bridge, keeping a clean sheet in two of them but their defensive record against United isn't great.

The Red Devils scored in all of their last seven meetings with Chelsea, averaging almost two goals a game and both teams scored in as many games. United have also been in fine attacking form away from Old Trafford of late, with Amorim's men scoring six goals in their last two away games and notched in each of their last five.
