Monday night's English Premier League action comes from Stamford Bridge where fourth placed Chelsea host Manchester United
Chelsea
Chelsea return from a break with their most recent league game finishing in a 2-2 draw at Leicester at the start of this month. Prior to that they played at another 2-2 draw at home to Arsenal and lost 1-0 at Newcastle so it's now 3 league outings without a victory. Chelsea remain in fourth spot but a number of teams are chasing and the gap to third placed Leicester, who have played 1 game more, stands at 9 points.
Chelsea' home record of 5 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats is only the tenth best in the top flight. They have kept 4 clean sheets at Stamford Bridge and failed to score in 3.
Man United
United are without a win in their last 3 league matches and they have failed to score in that sequence. They drew 0-0 with Wolves at Old Trafford the start of the month and towards the end of January they lost 2-0 at home to Burnley and 2-0 at Liverpool. At the time of writing United were in ninth place, 6 points behind Chelsea.
Away from home United have won 3, drawn 3 and lost 6. They have kept just the 1 clean sheet on their travels and failed to score in 6.
Head to Head:
The teams have met twice this season with United winning the first league meeting 4-0 in Manchester on the opening weekend. Since then a League Cup tie at Stamford Bridge finished 2-1 in United's favour and Marcus Rashford scored twice in both those matches.

The Betting
Chelsea are trading at around 9/10 to win the game with the draw a 26/10 chance and United can be backed at 13/4.
A game of 3 goals or more in total can be backed at around 17/20 and it's 15/20 for both sides to find the net.
Verdict:
United's lack of goals in recent matches has to be a concern, as is their defensive record away from home with just the 1 clean sheet. With that in mind you have to fancy Chelsea to score at some stage and my gut feel is that the total goals count will clock in at 3 or more.
Bet: Over 2.5 total match goals at 17/20
