Manchester United
Manchester United is the current leader, after 4 games in Premier League. The team recorded 4 victories, 2 at home 2 away, scoring 18 goals in total and conceding just 3. Two teams from London lost here already, Tottenham with 0:3 and Arsenal with 2:8, so a total of 11 scored goals and 2 conceded. United seems to be in an excellent shape, although earlier this week the team visited Benfica and recorded a 1:1 draw in Portugal. Some quite successful new transfers for United during the summer: Ashley Young from Aston Villa, Phil Jones from Blackburn, David de Gea from Atletico Madrid.
Chelsea
Chelsea did not start the season, in the best possible way, recording a draw against Stoke City on Britannia stadium. Overall record so far W3 D1 L0, and third position in the table. Despite the 3 victories Chelsea recorded, 2:1 against W.B.A, 3:1 against Norwich and 2:1 against Sunderland, the team was not able to keep a clean sheet. On top of that you could see some sort of struggle and lack of creativity in Chelsea’s game. Some of the more noticeable transfers this summer: Raul Meireles from Liverpool, Juan Mata from Valencia.

Overall record for United here, W6 D6 L4, which makes the outcome of this much pretty unknown. What’s specific about the games between United and Chelsea, is that usually the team that’s in better condition wins.
At this very time, this is United as Chelsea as still looking for the right rhythm of play with the new manager Villas Boas.
Ten of the sixteen games here have ended Over 2.5 Goals. All of United’s 4 victories so far this season ended Over 2.5 Goals, while 3 out of the 4 games for Chelsea also ended Over 2.5 Goals. The odds for that bet are 1.90 (bet365)
United is appointed as the favorite to win the match with 1.83, while Chelsea are perhaps the most profitable choice, odds @ 4.50 (bet365).
I will stick to my safe choice, and go with Over 2.5 goals in this match.
