Manchester United vs Chelsea: Michael Owen predicts EPL clash

Former Liverpool and Manchester United striker, Michael Owen, has said that United and Chelsea will play out a 1-1 draw this Sunday.

Both Premier League giants clash at Old Trafford, still fighting to finish in the top four.

Chelsea currently occupy the fourth spot, three points ahead of the Red Devils who lost 2-0 to Manchester City on Wednesday.

Owen told Betfair: “After a mini revival under new management United are struggling and have conceded 9 times without reply in their last three games in all competitions.

“They are three points behind Chelsea who occupy fourth position and realistically will need to win to have any hopes of catching them.

“The Pensioners missed a chance on Monday when held 2-2 by Burnley at Stamford Bridge and may well take the view avoiding defeat is their best option.

“With both low on confidence a point each looks quite likely and keeps both managers reasonably happy. Michael’s prediction: 1-1.”
