Gameweek 25 refuses to leave quietly, as Chelsea and Manchester collide at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are unbeaten under the stewardship of Guus Hiddink, winning three matches and drawing five. As for the Red Devils, their 3-0 win over Stoke City last Gameweek arguably represented their best display of the season.

Chelsea produced middling stats on the attacking front across the last four Gameweeks, notching six goals, the eighth-most attempts (52) and joint-sixth-most big chances (seven). It was a similar story for their backline, which conceded five goals and 27 shots inside the box. Man United will hope to profit from the fact that only Everton have conceded more goals at home (22) than Chelsea (19), who also rank joint-fourth for big chances surrendered (22) on familiar soil.

Only three teams tallied fewer attempts (42) than Man United over the last four Gameweeks, yet they still managed to record seven goals and the joint-third-most big chances (eight). Notwithstanding the criticism they’ve fielded for adopting a safety-first approach, the Red Devils place third for big chances (25) and joint-fifth for goals scored in road matches (16), suggesting that Chelsea will do well to record a third successive shut-out.

    Depay is useless!! if he knew how to pass, united would have scored.. but unfortunately he is incompetent.

  18. Mah-rage
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Brothwick-Jackson created the chance for Costa

    1. Bigbars
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      It was Blind's fault for rushing out, and leaving his man, Bothwick-JAckson had 2 men, one of them would have got that..

      1. Mah-rage
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 days ago

        Could not see well on a small screen. Did Smalling just stopped at the edge of the box ?

  19. Mr. Grv
    • 11 Years

    Depay will be sacked for that!! Awful lazy play, could have run it into the corner or played it square!

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      United have been hoofing it up for the last 10 mins..

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 3 days ago

        that's all Depay needed to do!

    2. Mah-rage
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Agree. I never remember any worthy play of him at Utd
