Chelsea play Manchester United later tonight in an important Premier League game for both sides.
Interestingly, Ally McCoist thinks Chelsea can do something they’ve not done at Old Trafford for 10 years, which is win a league match.
The Blues go into the midweek away fixture fresh off a narrow 3-2 win versus Brighton at the weekend.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side have been so inconsistent this term, which is why they’re 10th in the Premier League table right now.
If Chelsea do win this evening, it’ll only be the second time they’ve recorded back-to-back league victories this campaign. The first was against Fulham and Burnley at the start of October.
Ally McCoist verdict
TalkSPORT pundit McCoist does have a suspicion that Chelsea can get a positive result away to United.
Alan Brazil said on talkSPORT (9:06am, 6 December): “You think Chelsea can beat them (United), don’t you?”
McCosit replied: “I do… It would be a brave man that would pick a winner between United and Chelsea right now.”
Incidentally, speaking via BBC Sport this week, Chris Sutton has predicted Chelsea to win on the road at Man United.
Manchester United vs Chelsea is a clash of the unknown
Both sets of supporters tonight will have no idea what kind of performance they’ll get from their side at Old Trafford.
For Chelsea, the results and performances have been so up and down in recent games.
Meanwhile, Man United’s side are equally frustrating their own fanbase.
Erik Ten Hag’s side sit seventh in the league table and five points above Chelsea, but they’ve been heavily criticised at times for some very poor team displays.
Our feeling is that the first goal in tonight’s contest may be decisive!
