Manchester United vs Chelsea

Ruud van Nistelrooy will remain in charge of Manchester United until Ruben Amorim takes the reins on November 11, so it could be worth banking on one of the standout performers from Van Nistelrooy's first game as interim Red Devils boss to have another big impact against Chelsea on Sunday. 

Casemiro netted twice in United’s 5-2 rout of Leicester in the League Cup and he could demonstrate further attacking intent against a Blues side who have gone seven games without a clean sheet. 

The Red Devils midfielder netted against West Ham last Sunday and odds of 2-1 about the Brazilian registering a shot on target at Old Trafford are inviting. 

However, while United’s midfielders may shine against the Blues, their centre-backs could be in for a tough afternoon against the lively Nicolas Jackson. 

An opposing centre-back has been booked in five of Chelsea’s last six Premier League games and Mathijs de Ligt, who was carded five times in 22 Bundesliga games for Bayern Munich last term, could find his name taken by referee Robert Jones.
