Man Utd Have Lost Just One Of Their Last 14 Home Games vs Chelsea
Despite being Premier League heavyweights, the Manchester United F.C. vs Chelsea F.C. stats when the pair play at Old Trafford heavily favour the Red Devils.
United have only lost one of their last 14 home games against Chelsea – which came way back in the 2012/13 season, with Chelsea winning 1-0 after a Juan Mata goal. The midfielder was later bought by United.
Manchester United are also unbeaten in their last 11 home games vs Chelsea.

The great news for the neturals watching this Super Sunday clash is that the stats also point to both teams scoring.
This is backed up with ALL of the last six head-to-heads seeing each side finding the back of the net – you have to go back to the 2020-21 season to find the last time one (or both) Chelsea or Man Utd DIDN’T score against each other.
Manchester United F.C. vs Chelsea F.C. Stats Also Say We Can’t Rule Out The Draw
Another big standout stat is the amount of draws these sides have played out in recent years.
We’ve seen five of the last eight end all-square – including six of the last 11 repeat fixtures.
With 50% of the last six meetings ended 1-1, then, if you like a dabble in the correct score market, this should be on your radar with the best betting sites in the UK.
Cole Palmer Has Netted FOUR Goals In His Last Two Against Man Utd
Finally, if you are looking for a player that will score in this Manchester United vs Chelsea fixture, then the stats suggest you should end your search with Cole Palmer.
The Chelsea and England midfielder has been in rude form when facing United in recent meetings.
He netted the only goal for the Blues in this repeat fixture last season and also fired in a hat-trick in Chelsea’s epic 4-3 home win last term.
Meaning he’s scored four in his last two vs the Red Devils.
