It’s pretty clear that the bookmakers don’t really expect too much to happen her score-wise with the preferred correct score margin being a 7/1 price on the 1-1 draw. A United victory by a 1-0 margin trades at 15/2 while United 2-0 is sitting at 17/2.
Chelsea to sneak a 1-0 victory pays out at a solid 14/1 price tag.
Robin Van Persie is the sole player who is currently trading at an odds-on price and the bookmakers have him hovering just below evens at 10/11. Look for Wayne Rooney to get a prominent start in this one after being looked over for a starting position in mid-week. He’s 5/4 to score anytime but looks sharp at 5/1 to score first.
Demba Ba looks to be called upon to get the job done in front of goal for Chelsea and he’s favoured ahead of Fernando Torres with a 15/8 price. The Spaniard can be backed at 11/4 to make up for one of the worst misses in history last season against Manchester United.
Expect United to adopt a more patient approach than you might initially think - committing too many men forward against Chelsea can be an issue - so the best option is to back a scoreless first half and then back United to score about ten minutes after half-time.
This type of match sometimes doesn’t have much in it, with the deciding factor likely to be a significant mistake (United have had enough of those) or something from a set-piece.
