The match

A blockbuster clash between two English giants Manchester United and Chelsea at Old Trafford will be the ‘game to watch’ in the English Premier League first weekend of the 2019/20 season. It will not just be the clash of the two biggies, but also that of the two former players now in the dugouts of their respective clubs – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Frank Lampard. Incidentally, this will the first competitive meeting between United and Chelsea, where both managers have previously played for their respective clubs. After a very poor 2018/19 season where they finished outside the Champions League positions, United would want to get back into the reckoning. Of course, they have a lot to improve against the ‘big six’ clubs, having won just seven points in ten matches last season. They failed to win any of their home games against those big sides, which remains a worry. However, United have lost only one of their last 26 matches (W19, D6, L1) while starting their Premier League campaign at home, which was a 2-1 defeat to Swansea in 2014/15. For Chelsea, life after Eden Hazard starts with the enterprising Christian Pulisic joining the ranks. With a stuttering United defence against them, Chelsea will fancy getting on the board and probably pinching points.

Key Statistics

  • United have failed to score in just one of their last five H2H home fixtures, but have kept just two home league clean sheets last season.
  • Chelsea have not lost on opening day away from home since 1998/99 (W6, D1).
  • Chelsea have not won at Old Trafford in their last six trips (D4, L2).
  • Four of Chelsea’s last five Premier League season openers have seen both teams score.

The bet of our experts

United are without a clean sheet in 15 consecutive matches in all competitions, their first in the Premier League era. In addition, they have conceded 54 league goals last season, which is their most ever in a league season since 1978/79. Although Harry Maguire is signed in the off-season, he might not start right away and the back problems could continue to plague the Red Devils. As for the visitors, they have lost just one of their last 20 opening weekend fixtures in the Premier League (W16, D3). They will fancy their chances of picking up at least a draw from Old Trafford.
