Manchester United have been in really bad shape lately, in all fronts. They are coming off a bad loss in the Manchester Derby and have been unable to score in their last three. But they will have to pick themselves up when they will host Chelsea on Sunday. The two teams are fighting for the 4th spot and the Champions League ticket, so this is definitely the match to watch on Sunday.

Manchester United (19-9-7) are coming off a bad performance at home against Manchester City, where they fell by 2-0. That was their third consecutive loss in all competitions and fifth in their last six. They scored just one goal in those five losses, which makes it clear that they are struggling hard. Manchester United are now sitting at the 6th spot with 64 points, two behind Arsenal and three behind Chelsea.
Chelsea (20-8-7) failed to take the win at home against Burnley last Monday, as they were stuck at a 2-2 draw that might get them into trouble. Chelsea are currently sitting at the 4th spot of the Premier League with 67 points, three behind Tottenham, one ahead of Arsenal and three ahead of Manchester United. A loss here could potentially destroy their chances for a top-four finish.

Manchester United have been great as hosts against Chelsea in recent years, losing just one of the last ten matches in all competitions (5-1-4). I will back the home team on this one, hoping they get out of their slump when they need it the most.
