The smoke of gunpowder in the Premier League has resurfaced. At 00:30 on September 21, Manchester United will play against Chelsea at home, and this game has attracted much attention from fans.
Manchester United has upgraded its lineup this season, but currently has only achieved 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses in four Premier League games, and its performance is not satisfactory. After losing to Manchester City 0-3 in the last round, there were constant disharmonious voices. Manchester United mainly plays a 3-4-2-1 formation. So far in the league, the whole team has worked together to complete 70 shots and has a strong desire to attack. However, the offensive end led by Sheshko, Mbumo and Diallo have only scored 4 goals so far, which is really sad. On the defensive end, Manchester United's three-back system has many loopholes, currently conceding 1.75 goals per game, with many hidden dangers. Manchester United may feel much pressure when facing Chelsea in this game.
Chelsea has been in a fast momentum this season, with 2 wins and 2 draws in four Premier League games, and has never lost. However, Chelsea played against two fronts this week, especially in the away game against Bayern in the middle of the week, and the physical reserves of its core system players are at a disadvantage. Chelsea mainly plays a 4-2-3-1 formation. So far in the league, the team has worked together to complete 60 shots, scoring 9 goals, and averaging 2.25 goals per game, without fear of any opponents. On the offensive end, Chelsea's attack points are scattered and it is difficult to prevent them; on the defensive end, they currently have only conceded 0.75 goals per game, which is quite stable. This game will test Manchester United's strength in attack.
In-depth analysis of this game: After four rounds of the Premier League, Chelsea averaged 1.25 goals more than Manchester United and conceded 1 goal less, and averaged 2.25 goals per game, with an overall performance advantage. However, Chelsea's two-front battle this week is worrying, and it is another away game, so this game may face severe tests. In this match, Manchester United has the home court and is waiting for work. It is very likely to take the lead. A fierce battle between the two sides is inevitable. Under heavy pressure, Manchester United is likely to do their best, and the probability of drawing Chelsea in this game is not low.
