[Tips]:
Manchester United F.C. suffered a crushing 3-0 defeat to Manchester City F.C. in the last Manchester derby, failing to maintain their winning momentum and taking a hit to their morale.

The away team, Chelsea F.C., lost their first Champions League match 3-1 to Bayern Munich on the road, marking their fourth consecutive loss to Bayern since their penalty shootout victory in the 2012 Champions League final.

Although Manchester United had a poor start to the season, their strong attacking pressure and ability to consistently create shooting opportunities at home still lay a solid foundation for them to compete for a win.

On the other hand, while Chelsea's frontline is highly efficient, their defensive vulnerabilities away from home and the physical strain from consecutive away games could be the X-factors in this match.

Based on these and other data points, Manchester United should be able to at least avoid defeat at home.
