Chelsea at Manchester United: EPL betting guide and tips
By Mike Malley
A second bet I’ve had my eye on is over 3.5 corner kicks for the away team at -136 odds. I find this number to be pretty incredible considering the Blues are averaging nearly 5.5 corners per match. United also concedes over 5.5 per contest, so I really like Chelsea’s odds of winning at least four. Additionally, games at Old Trafford have averaged the most corner kicks per 90’ of any Premier League stadium in 2022/23 with 11.47. Nearly every statistic is pointing me towards taking this play, and I especially love it at -136.

My Chelsea picks:
Alright guys, we’re bouncing back this week. It’s our last chance to recuperate our losses from earlier in the year, so we have no choice but to cash these slips. With that in mind, I’m playing it pretty safe with my picks. Give me Manchester United on the moneyline at -170 odds and over 3.5 corner kicks for the visiting team at -136 for my first two plays. For Thursday’s final selection, I’ll take draw on the halftime result prop at +135 odds.
I have a strong suspicion we’ll be subjected to a completely scoreless first 45’, which is currently listed at +250 odds, so I won’t be mad at anyone who wants to sprinkle some money on the riskier bet.
