Our prediction for this Premier League match:
All eyes will be on Stamford Bridge when Chelsea and Manchester United take on each other in the Premier League derby. The Blues dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with ten-man Burnley, but they once again looked sharp in front of goal. As Chelsea are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, goals galore is on the horizon. Raheem Sterling is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, head into Thursday’s showdown following a 1-1 draw with Brentford. As Manchester United managed to find the net in each of their last seven away games in the national championship, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Amad Diallo is banned for the match, while both Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans should be fit for the Stamford Bridge clash. Both Casemiro and Mason Mount are pushing for a start, while Victor Lindelof has overcome his minor injury.
Highlighted Player (Bruno Fernandes):
Bruno Fernandes is a Portuguese footballer who used to play for Novara before joining Udinese in a co-ownership deal in the summer of 2013. The Portuguese midfielder scored his first goal for the club in a 3-3 draw with Napoli on 7 December, 2013.
Three years later he signed a deal with Sampdoria for a fee of €7 million. Fernandes moved to Sampdoria in order to replace Roberto who reinforced Villarreal. Soriano He played 33 games for the Zebrette in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign, scoring three goals for the club, while providing four assists for his teammates.
Fernandes is a central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as a secondary striker as well. He was born in Maia, Portugal on 8 September, 1994 and he began his youth career at Infesta. Fernandes has seven caps for Portugal U21 team and he has played 4 matches for the U23 team.
Highlighted Team (Chelsea):
Over the years Chelsea have established themselves as one of the dominant forces in the English Premier League. Roberto Di Matteo helped the team win their first ever Champions League trophy (2011/2012), but it has to be noted that they were more than fortunate to beat Bayern Munich in the title game.
Chelsea have been playing at Stamford Bridge since 1876 and they are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The Blues have won seven FA Cups, five League Cups, two UEFA Cup Winners’ Cups and the UEFA Europa League. Rafael Benitez was in charge of the team that faced Benfica in the 2012/2013 Europa League final, with Branislav Ivanovic scoring the winner for the Blues in the title clash.
After lifting the 2014/2015 Premier League trophy, the Blues largely struggled in the next campaign, which saw Jose Mourinho’s second spell with the club come to an end, and Antoine Conte went over to take the reigns for the 2016/2017 season.
