Current streaks

Recent form

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the Red Devils struggling to find consistency in their performances. Despite sitting in a disappointing 14th position in the league, they have shown resilience by remaining unbeaten in four of their last six matches across all competitions. The team's attacking prowess is evident, having scored an impressive 12 goals in their last six games, including a high-scoring 5-2 victory over Leicester in the League Cup. However, their defensive frailties are a concern, conceding nine goals during this period and keeping only one clean sheet. United's matches have been entertaining affairs, with both teams scoring in 83% of their recent games and over 2.5 goals occurring in 67% of them. The 3-3 draw against FC Porto in the Europa League stands out as a particularly thrilling encounter, highlighting the team's ability to compete at the highest level despite their current league position.

Chelsea

Chelsea's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches across all competitions. Despite sitting fifth in the Premier League table with 17 points from nine games, the Blues have shown vulnerability in defence, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last seven outings. Their attacking prowess has been noteworthy, however, with an impressive average of two goals scored per game and a high-scoring 4-2 victory over Gent in the Europa Conference League. Chelsea's matches have been entertaining affairs, with both teams scoring in 83% of their recent games and over 2.5 goals occurring in 67% of them. The standout performance was undoubtedly their 4-1 away win against Panathinaikos, demonstrating their potential for dominant displays. However, their inconsistency is evident in the alternating results between competitions, particularly highlighted by their contrasting outcomes against Newcastle United within a few days – winning 2-1 in the Premier League but losing 2-0 in the League Cup.

Recent home/away form

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the Red Devils showing both promise and inconsistency at Old Trafford. Despite their underwhelming 14th position in the league, United have managed to secure three wins in their last six home matches, including an impressive 7-0 thrashing of Barnsley in the League Cup. However, they've also suffered two heavy defeats, conceding three goals each to Tottenham and Liverpool without reply. The team's goal-scoring prowess is evident, with an average of 2.5 goals per game in their last six matches, and a staggering 83% of these games seeing over 2.5 goals. Defensively, United have struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in this period, but they've compensated with their attacking flair, particularly in cup competitions where they've netted 12 goals in just two matches.

Chelsea

Chelsea's recent away form has been inconsistent, with the Blues alternating between wins and losses in their last six matches on the road. The team have shown flashes of brilliance, particularly in their 4-1 victory against Panathinaikos in the Europa Conference League, which stands out as their highest-scoring away game in this period. Defensively, Chelsea have managed two clean sheets in their last six away fixtures, both coming in Premier League matches against West Ham and Bournemouth. However, their tendency to concede goals is evident, with 67% of their away games seeing over 2.5 goals scored. Despite their mixed results, Chelsea have been relatively prolific in front of goal, averaging 1.67 goals per game away from home, which has contributed to their current 5th position in the league table.
