Enzo Maresca At Chelsea
Enzo Maresca was made boss of Chelsea in the summer of 2024, following the exit of Argentine tactician Mauricio Pochettino.
Maresca has done an okay job handling the Blues, as they look to be producing better performances in comparison to their display last season.
Enzo Maresca has lost just 4 of their 15 matches this campaign across all competitions, winning 9 games and drawing 2.
Unfortunately, one of their defeats thus far has reduced their chances of claiming silverware this campaign, as they were bundled out of the Carabao Cup in the fourth round after losing 2-0 to Newcastle United.
Chelsea
Chelsea are in a favorable position of progressing to the knockout phase of the UEFA Conference League and they occupy the 6th spot on the Premier League table, having recorded 17 points from 9 matches.
If they claim victory today, they will be shooting up to the 3rd position on the Premier League table.
Chelsea haven’t won a game at Old Trafford since 2013 and despite Manchester United’s poor form, many football enthusiasts believe it will be difficult for the Blues to get a victory in Manchester.
