A marquee matchup is about to take place, with Manchester United hosting Chelsea. Although both teams are not performing well in the new season, Man U has shown signs of recovery recently, with 5 wins in their last 7 league games, and the gap between them and the top teams is not obvious. Chelsea, on the other hand, have had their ups and downs, and with their defensive issues still unresolved, United will look to put the brakes on at the Stade de l'Ordre de l'Ouverture, and win the home game outright. (Now 621 and 611 live at 4.15am on Thursday, not to be missed)
Manchester United lost to Newcastle on the road in the last round, ending a 3-game winning streak in the league. After a 3-game road trip, the team is expected to rebound at home in this match. With the return of injured players such as Lauki Suhr and Yun Bishaka, and the emergence of young stars such as Alejandro Canazo and Manuel, the "Red Devils" have significantly improved their ability to adjust their squad, which is the key to the team's stabilization of their performance.
Man Utd's league performance better than UEFA
In fact, United's defense in the Premier League is not bad, the last four league games only conceded 1 goal, Harry Maguire's recovery has become the core of the defense, and the goalkeeper Onaona, who had often made mistakes in the UEFA Europa League, returned to the Premier League with a stable performance, and the solid defense has become an important impetus for the rebound of Manchester United.
Chelsea is dominated by young players and their performance fluctuates a lot. After a thrilling 4-4 draw against Manchester City, they suffered a 1-4 defeat against Newcastle, and then a 3-2 win against Brighton in their last game, but the defense has conceded 10 goals in 3 games, which is hard to reassure people. With Cana Garrincha suspended for this match, the midfield's stopping power will be further weakened.
It is worth mentioning that Nicholas Nicholson, who was transferred to the club for £52 million (about HK$510 million) this summer, has been out of action due to an injury and only resumed training recently. Originally, he still has a chance to appear in the Premier League match against Brighton, but coach Pudjetjenu let him rest for a few more days for safety reasons, and it is expected that he will have a chance to come on as a substitute in this match.
