Chelsea vs Man Utd arrives with nerves everywhere. Michael Carrick is running out of road at Manchester United, yet he still gets this trip to west London. Xabi Alonso wants his Chelsea team to answer a sore home loss. Whoever blinks first could pay for it. Fans will enjoy the chaos, because football rarely hands over a night with this much pressure and this many goals on offer.
Preview: Chelsea vs Man Utd
Chelsea’s last five league games brought two wins, two defeats and a draw. The latest was a 2-0 home loss to Tottenham, only the second time Spurs have won at **Stamford Bridge**in 37 league visits. Still this team can also light up a stadium as they beat Brighton 4-3, Leeds 6-3 in the EFL Cup and Bournemouth 5-1. The Blues have scored 17 goals in their last five home games, but they let in at least one every time.
The west London side have one big boost. Cole Palmer is back after he sat out the EFL Cup tie with Liverpool through suspension. His return gives Alonso a player who can break a game open with one pass or one shot. The bigger question for Alonso is balance. His side scores freely at home, yet it keeps leaking goals, so he must decide whether to trust his attackers or add a bit more cover in midfield.
Meanwhile, United are in real trouble as they have won only one of their first eight league games and already sit 14 points behind Manchester City and Arsenal at the top. They have not won in eight matches in all competitions, and they have not gone nine without a win at any point this century. A 3-0 loss to Bournemouth at Old Trafford hurt the most.
For the Red Devils, the main story is Bruno Fernandes. The captain set a record last season with 21 assists in a single campaign. Against Bournemouth he started on the bench and never got on, and United looked flat and short of ideas without him. The numbers are not good either. United have won just one of their last 11 games in which he did not start. Carrick is stuck between his own thinking and what the stats scream at him.

Prediction
This looks like a Chelsea night. They are at home, their attack is sharp, and United have not found a way to win for two months. The Spurs loss stung, and Blues fans will want a strong response. United have been poor at the back, and Chelsea have scored freely at the Bridge. The one worry for the hosts is their own defence, which has given up a goal in every recent home game.
