After a crushing 0-3 defeat to Manchester City, Manchester United will look to bounce back when they host Chelsea in another Premier League derby.

Manager Ruben Amorim is facing the prospect of losing his job, but Red Devils fans hope Saturday's game could be a turning point for both the Manchester United boss and his players.

Experienced midfielder Casemiro is pushing for a return to the starting line-up, while Matheus Cunha, Mason Mount and Lisandro Martinez all remain sidelined through injury.

Chelsea dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Brentford, but this local derby was marked by the return from injury of Cole Palmer.

Talented midfielder Palmer is widely expected to start against Manchester United and with the Red Devils' weak defence, many experts predict Enzo Maresca's side will take all three points.

Both Levi Colwill and Liam Delap continue to be absent through injury, while Benoit Badiashile remains a doubt.

On forums, loyal Red Devils fans hope that a win over Chelsea will be the boost that gets Manchester United back on track in their quest to regain their status as giants.

Indeed, Chelsea's win rate at Old Trafford in the Premier League (18% - 6/33) is their lowest away rate against any team they have visited 10 or more times.

Manchester United may have to accept the role of a mid-table team in the Premier League, so even with home advantage, they cannot accept championship candidates like Chelsea. The initial odds are equal, the Red Devils win enough, while Chelsea only win 82.

By yesterday afternoon, Chelsea's price had moved up to 85 to win and lose enough, and by this morning it was 87 to win and lose enough, but the market trend was not enough to change the odds. Although this match is likely to have few goals, choosing Chelsea is still more interesting.

The possibility of a 1-1 draw is very high when the odds are only 7.9, while 2-2 is 12. The fragile gap between the two teams is shown by the similar parameters. For example, 2-1 and 1-2 are both 9.6, while 1-0 and 0-1 are both 12. Conversely, 2-0 and 0-2 seem very unlikely when the odds are 16 and 15.
