Madueke has taken 32 shots on target across his 30 Premier League appearances this season (1.54 per 90), no Chelsea player is averaging more shots on target per 90.

He has been playing on the left side of the attack in recent weeks but should move back over to the right wing here following Nicolas Jackson’s sending off against Newcastle. Pedro Neto is likely to play through the middle, Madueke is much more of a shot threat when he plays on the right as he can cut into his stronger left foot.

Madueke had two shots in the initial meeting between the sides. Chelsea are averaging 5.9 shots on target per game in the Premier League this season which is a record only bettered by Liverpool (6.2). Madueke has found the target in each of his last two games at Stamford Bridge against Liverpool and Everton, he can do so again here.

The Chelsea backline is far from secure, Robert Sanchez is having to make 3.07 saves per 90 across his 30 appearances in the Premier League this season. 

Sanchez was called into action three times at Old Trafford, Man United haven’t been the most convincing attacking side this season but can take advantage of the lack of structure in the Chelsea defence.

Sanchez was called into action four times against Newcastle last time out and recently had to make three saves against Everton at Stamford Bridge, which shows how Chelsea still are defensively vulnerable, even against sides that aren’t the most effective in attacking areas.

Chelsea are averaging 11.5 fouls committed per game in the Premier League this season. They’ve committed 11+ fouls in 26 of their 36 league games this season (72%) and have also seen over this line in 13 of their 18 games at Stamford Bridge (72%). This record is a result of this Chelsea side not being able to manage games, setbacks are not taken well by the young side which can see their foul and card counts rise, especially in high pressure all or nothing situations.

Chelsea committed 14 fouls in their 1-1 draw with Man United at Old Trafford earlier in the season. They’ll be expected to win here so if things aren’t going their way, expect some frustration to filter through which should translate into a foul count that matches their average for the season.

Cole Palmer has an excellent personal record against Man United. He scored a hat-trick in this fixture last season, which ended in a 4-3 win for Chelsea, and also found the back of the net against the Red Devils in the reverse fixture between the sides last season.

He recently got back to scoring ways with a penalty against Liverpool and generally looked a lot more like the player we saw last season, in a man of the match performance against the league champions. Palmer has registered 23 goal contributions across his 35 Premier League appearances this season. 

United have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five Premier League outings, Chelsea will get chances here. The Blues have scored 34 goals across their 18 games at Stamford Bridge this season (1.88 per 90).

Mason Mount has picked up three yellow cards across his six Premier League starts this season. He’s been injured for a large portion of the campaign but has settled into the Man United starting 11 recently.

Mount has committed 15 fouls across these league appearances (2.78 per 90) which shows how aggressive he can be off the ball. There is the added element here of Mount returning to Stamford Bridge where he was formally a fan favourite - emotions could get the better of the 26-year-old who has already been frustrated a few times this campaign, as his foul and card rate suggests. Odds of 6.50 for him to pick up a card represent excellent value.

Chelsea have only lost two of their 18 games at Stamford Bridge this season. They take on a United side that have lost 17 games in the Premier League this season and that have only won four of their 18 games away from Old Trafford this term. 

Only Tottenham (20) and the three relegated sides have lost more games in the Premier League than United this season. Prior to Chelsea’s 2-0 loss against Newcastle, the Blues were on a run of five straight victories which is the type of form Enzo Maresca will be hoping his side can tap into here.
