Mirror Football writers predictions for Chelsea vs Man Utd

But on that afternoon, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team showed their ruthless side, blasting away Chelsea with a four goal thumping at Old Trafford.

United have not been as good as that scoreline suggested they might and Chelsea have not been as poor. United's 4-0 victory at Old Trafford in August was viewed as a huge statement of intent - but the scoreline was not a true reflection of the game. It still seems strange to say given their previous highs but these two teams are works in progress, and could cancel each other out.Alex Milne United have reacted well since they sank to arguably their lowest point under the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reign in the 2-0 home defeat to Burnley last month.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are unpredictable at the best of times, and with only one win in their last five Premier League games you sense they will live to regret not strengthening in January. Chelsea will no doubt push for a win, but you'd expect United to shut up shop and hope for a snatch-and-grab win on the counter.
