Manchester United go into the match fresh off a morale-boosting victory in the Europa League as they beat out an underwhelming Fehnerbache side that now sit ninth in the Turkish league by a 4-1 margin. They had some great goals from a few different players - including a lovely strike by Jesse Lingaard and another by Paul Pogba.
The other two goals were penalties.
The bookmakers have Chelsea favoured in this one to secure the victory at home but this is a fairly tight contest with Chelsea trading at a high of 13/10 while Chelsea can be backed at a 5/4 margin with the majority of bookmakers. A couple of them go as low as a 6/5 price tag.
The draw can be backed at about a 23/10 margin and that looks pretty solid for the neutral punter - this match could easily wind up being a 0-0 draw.
Manchester United can be backed at a high price of about 27/10 while the majority of books have the Red Devils trading at a 13/5 price tag. They definitely represent the value option here.
