14/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning This bet builder combines Chelsea’s historic strength at Stamford Bridge with their recent defensive frailties and Benfica’s dependence on Pavlidis. The hosts are likely to edge the match, but both sides should contribute goals, with Pavlidis well placed to profit from gaps in Chelsea’s back line.

Both Teams to Score
Manchester United have struggled for clean sheets throughout Amorim’s short reign, and their defensive lapses were on full display in the Manchester derby, where they were comfortably beaten 3-0. Their backline continues to look vulnerable, not helped by injuries to Lisandro Martinez and Diogo Dalot. Even in their recent home victory over Burnley, they conceded twice, underlining how brittle their rearguard has become.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have been one of the more proactive attacking outfits so far this campaign, hitting nine goals in just four league games. Joao Pedro has already been directly involved in five Premier League goals this season, while Cole Palmer is in strong form with two goals from his last two matches. However, Chelsea are also not watertight defensively, shipping twice in their draw with Brentford and three more against Bayern Munich in Europe. With United possessing players such as Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo, both of whom offer a serious threat in the final third, it is difficult to imagine either side keeping a clean sheet. The combination of Chelsea’s forward momentum and United’s defensive fragility points firmly towards both teams scoring.

Benjamin Sesko – 1+ Shot on Target
Benjamin Sesko is likely to spearhead United’s attack, and his physical presence gives Amorim’s men a focal point. Sesko’s ability to run the channels and his natural instinct to test goalkeepers makes him an obvious candidate to register at least one effort on target. United’s home crowd could be crucial in pushing them forward, particularly with their desperate need to bounce back from their derby defeat. Chelsea’s centre-backs, Trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo, have been prone to lapses in concentration, and Sesko’s aerial ability and strength should create openings.
With wide support from Mbeumo and Amad Diallo supplying crosses and cut-backs, Sesko will almost certainly get opportunities. Given his reputation for being direct and rarely shy of pulling the trigger, even half a chance could be enough to deliver one effort on goal. Considering United will be forced to attack, especially if they fall behind, Sesko looks well placed to at least trouble Robert Sanchez between the posts.
Bryan Mbeumo – 1+ Shot on Target
Bryan Mbeumo has enjoyed notable success against Chelsea in previous seasons, contributing directly to six goals in seven league meetings while at Brentford. Now in United colours, his pace and sharp movement make him an important outlet in Amorim’s attack. Chelsea’s defensive unit, despite their unbeaten domestic start, remain susceptible to wide threats, especially when their full-backs are drawn forward. If Reece James starts, his inclination to push into midfield will leave spaces behind, which Mbeumo is ideally suited to exploit.
The winger’s ability to cut inside onto his stronger left foot means he is frequently in positions to shoot from range or within the box. With Fernandes pulling strings in midfield, Mbeumo should find himself with at least one clear opportunity to test Sanchez. His track record against this opposition, coupled with his consistent desire to get shots away, makes him a strong candidate to hit the target at least once.
Joao Pedro – 1+ Shot on Target
Joao Pedro has made an excellent start to the season, contributing more direct goal involvements than any other Premier League player so far. His ability to both score and create highlights his importance to Maresca’s setup. Against United, Pedro’s record is particularly impressive, with three goals in five league appearances against them, his best return against any top-flight opponent. He thrives on exploiting defensive weaknesses, and United have shown plenty of those in recent months.
Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes may look to provide midfield cover, but the gaps in central defence remain glaring. With Chelsea likely to dominate possession for long spells, Pedro will receive ample service from wide players such as Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho. His composure in front of goal and willingness to shoot make at least one attempt on target very likely. Given his form and history against United, this selection feels a smart addition to the Bet Builder.
Cole Palmer – 2+ Shots on Target
Cole Palmer has quickly become a vital creative and goalscoring outlet for Chelsea, especially in the number 10 role. The former Manchester City man has scored in back-to-back matches and is brimming with confidence. Maresca’s system allows him freedom to drift into shooting positions, either driving at defenders or arriving late into the box. United’s defensive frailties make him even more dangerous, with their midfield often leaving spaces for attacking midfielders to exploit.
Palmer’s recent output shows he is not afraid to take on multiple attempts per game, making two or more efforts on target a realistic expectation. With Joao Pedro keeping United’s defenders occupied, Palmer should benefit from additional space on the edge of the area, providing him ample opportunity to test the goalkeeper. His technique and consistency in striking from distance strengthen the case for him registering more than a single effort on goal.
