English Premsiehip League .
Manchester United vs Chelsea .
Venue – Old Trafford , Manchester .
Date – September ,20, 2025 .
Time – 5.30 pm , UK.
A clash of the Titans , all wounded in all spheres of influence of the round leather game ,this season just to mention a little , United lost 3-0 last weekend to the superior fire power of Man City in a derby match in the city of Manchester , while Chelsea followed suit in a similar fashion in a champions league group games when Bayern Munich rough rided them 3-1 at the Alliance Arena last Wednesday .
United welcomes the Blues at Old Trafford , Saturday as they clash in a high profile Premirship League match to redeem their almost fading glory .
Reuben Amorin prepares his team for a Premiership show down to secure his job. Barely four months ago the Blues secured a slender 1-0 victory over their opponents at Stamford Bridge ,courtesy of defender , Marc Cuerella second half strike .
Before their Manchester derby last weekend , the Red Devils were hovering above their city rivals before they lost in a humiliating 197th Derby , 3-0,, they were second best to their noisy city rivals .
Since the recruitment of Amorin their current Manager 10 months ago , out of the 17 teams in the English Premsiehip League , United have the worst record of having 31 points out of 31 matches , won 8, drew 7 and lost 16. their worst outing so far , gaining four points from as many matches as possible , represents their poorest record in the EPL since the inception of the elite League in United Kingdom in 1992/1993 season.
Let’s go down memory lane and a bit of flash back in history of the United team , Amorin stands as the worst Manager since the second world war , recording the worst ratio statistically of (36.17) % of defeats , Man United almost went on relegation last season by a hair s breath , of not for God s infinite mercies they would have been in the Nation Wide League right now .
The Portuguese sweat merchant has been under intense scrutiny and pressure to change his tactical formation to bring United to winning ways as well as retain his job at Old Trafford , but he has refused to listen to the voice of reason and there is a likely hood that today’s encounter may make or mar his managerial job , if he fails to get a positive result and put smiles on his already impatient pay masters .
Despite his refusal to change his playing pattern lately , he has been able to re- organize his floundering troops to get a 3-2 win against hard fighting Burnley at home soil and will likely have another victory successively in the same season at home as a Manager since the days of Erik Ten Hag for the first time since 2023 season.
Man United have only won 2 out of 11 encounters over Chelsea in all competitions , ,drew 6 , lost 3, but have come out on top in their last 12 Premsiehip home games against the Blues , won 5 and drew 7, since their last defeat in May 2013 , 1-0., but the blues have the lowest away loss to Man United (18% /6/33) , the highest of any team they have visited 10 times or more in the Premiership.
Maresca hopes that his troop will learn a lesson from their countless mistakes in Munich Bavaria and bounce back to winning ways in subsequent matches , and today’s match part of it .
The Blues is one of the only Premiership teams this season that have remained unbeaten , apart from Liverpool and Crystal Palace , won 2 and drew 2 from four matches as well as scoring a total of nine goals too same with Arsenal and reigning champions ,Liverpool..
Chelsea also could not continue with their winning streak after rough riding Westham 5-1 as well as dismissing unfancied Fulham , then playing a draw 2-2 via a three minutes storage time equaliser in one of their derby matches , to hard fighting as well as goal scoring Brentford in London, coupled with a pummeling from Bayern Munich at the Alliance arena 3-1 scoreline ,with England International and top striker , Harry Kane , show casing his football prowess , peerless skills and Pukka play on the cold night in Bavaria . It was really a horrible night for the Blues who lost concentration mid way into the match and made countless mistakes in all departments of the game , hence giving the Bavarian a pro Christmas gift in their group games .
Chelsea needs to re organize their tactical formation before meeting , Liverpool , Nothingham Forest ,Brighton and Tottenham Hotspurs
The Blues will attempt to win a top flight match in today’s game against Man United after their back to back wins between November 2009 and March 2011 under former boss , Carlo Ancelotti.
With seven points from the last three games against Man Utd, , they will like to increase their winning streak again this evening at Old Trafford ,considering they have lost only one match
Manchester United is slightly hit with injury worries with some of their first team players
Alejandro Martinez is still recovering from.long term knee injury since February together with Diogo Dalo still sidelined
Matheus Cunha , hamstring , and Mason Mount , unknown injury will be available for selection , it remains who starts first .
New signing goal tender , Senne Lammens is likely to get his debut in between the sticks , or Amorin may think otherwise and stick to his first choice keeper this evening .
Mid field dynamo Bryan Mbuemo , who was involved in six partnership goals for his former club against Chelsea ,with three goals and three assists ,will link up with Ahmed Dallo and Benjamin Sesko in the engine room /midfield pack in the final third .while Casemito will battle for a starting shirt with Maunuel Ugarte in central midfield along with Captain Bruno Fernandez .
Injury and suspension will be the greatest undoing in today s high profile match with so many first team Blues sidelined on long term injury spell., Romeo Lavia , Benio Badishielle , Levi Colwill ,Liam Delap , Dario Essugo all sidelined and will be unavailable .
Recce James will replace Malo Gusto at the right back , while Enzo Fernandez will drop deep down into the mid field pack alongside fellow South American , Moises Caiceido and Cole Palmer who has scored two goals in his two EPL matches this season., while Pedro Neto starts from the right wing , either Jamie Gittens or Garnacho could start from the left , the later pushing to make his full debut against his former club .
Mercurial Joan Pedro takes the top striker position and continue with his good works so far for this new club .
The Brazilian has been involved five Chelsea gials this , scoring three and assisting two and no player in Chelsea have been involved in more goals than him so far this season .
Predictions .
Today’s encounter with both teams has recorded the most draws in the history of both teams matches with 27 draw and 14 out of Old Trafford, so there is little separating both teams .
While Chelsea will like to rekindle their epl hopes with a win against Man United whom they see as their own for taking with their current state ,despite their mid week loss to Bayern in Bavaria ,, Reubrn Amorin will also like a win to bounce back to the EPL good ranking and also secure his job , as a loss this evening definitely will not go down well with the management at Old Trafford .
Manchester United 1-2 Chelsea Or 2-2 Or 1-1.
Happy Viewing and Hapoy weekend
