“Chelsea have no excuse” — Ex-Liverpool star on Man United

Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson has offered his prediction for the upcoming clash between Chelsea and Manchester United, tipping Chelsea to secure a 2-1 victory when the two teams face off in Wednesday’s Premier League encounter at Old Trafford.

Manchester United, following a defeat in their previous fixture against Newcastle United, will play host to Chelsea in a crucial match.

Speaking to Paddy Power, Lawrenson expressed his assessment of Erik ten Hag’s situation at Manchester United amidst mounting pressure. “Erik ten Hag is under significant pressure, but I don’t anticipate he’ll be sacked,” Lawrenson commented.

“The club seems to be in disarray off the field, and some of the players don’t appear to be fully engaged. It’s a rather perplexing situation.”

Reflecting on Chelsea’s recent performance, Lawrenson highlighted their positive result against Brighton in their last outing. “Chelsea showcased a strong display against Brighton recently, so I’m inclined to predict a 2-1 victory for Chelsea in this away fixture,” he concluded.

Lawrenson’s prediction comes amid anticipation and speculation surrounding the match, with both teams seeking a crucial result to bolster their standing in the Premier League.
