PREVIEW
Chelsea must beat Manchester United on Sunday to have any chance of lifting the title in May and the Blues will have to make do without John Terry, who’s failed to recover from a knee injury. Andre Villas-Boas has had a tough week in which his side were just seconds away from defeat at Swansea.
The Blues are a long way off Manchester City and even the most ardent of fans will doubt whether the side can make a late surge. Beating United would be a start, but the performances must improve from Wednesday’s effort in South Wales.
In six home league games Chelsea have been beaten twice and United came out on top when they last visited Stamford Bridge – even though it was in the Champions League. Matters have not been helped by Ashley Cole’s suspension and he’ll be missed on the left with Antonio Valencia in such fine form.
United pulled level on points with City on Tuesday evening and it’s important that they don’t undo all the good work over the past few games. The Red Devils have won their past three league games coming into this clash and recently left the Emirates with all three points.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s side have already beaten the Blues 3-1 at Old Trafford this term and will fancy their chances of completing the double in West London. That afternoon United were ahead at the break and final whistle and if there’s a repeat here, BETDAQ will return all commission on all match markets.
United have the best away record in the league and they are a good bet to get the away win at 2.87 on BETDAQ.
RECOMMENDATION: (1-10 points)
Manchester United at around 2.87: 6 points
Saturday’s Return: +5.4 points
