Manchester United

Organised and dependable, Man Utd usually win in front of their own fans at Old Trafford through midfield control rather than sheer firepower.

Away

Chelsea

Chelsea are among the strongest teams in the league and should control the ball on the road at Old Trafford, leaving Man Utd to defend for long spells.
