Chelsea backed to clinch 2-1 win over Man United in must-win Premier League top-five clash

Premier League legend Roy Keane has backed Chelsea to beat Manchester United when both sides lock horns in a must-win top-five six-pointer this weekend.

The Blues are preparing to welcome United to Stamford Bridge this weekend, with their hopes of securing Champions League football hanging by a thread.

Chelsea have fallen off the wagon over the past few months. Liam Rosenior’s troops couldn’t have picked the worst time to drop form, with the top-five race heading to the wire.

The Blues have managed just one win from their last six games across all competitions (L5).

That came against League One side Port Vale in the FA Cup quarter final, with Rosenior’s side running out 7-0 winners on home turf to set up a semi-final clash with Leeds United.

To make matters worse, Chelsea are set to welcome United on the back of a humiliating 3-0 defeat against title-chasing Manchester City at the Bridge.

That made it back-to-back losses at the Bridge after their previous 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United and their third consecutive Premier League setback.
