So what are the current Manchester United vs. Chelsea odds at Bet 365? In the most anticipated football game this weekend, United are listed as the favourite to win the match with odds 5/6 (1.83), while Chelsea FC are underdogs with the big betting odds of 7/2 (4.50) on beating the Red Devils at Old Traford this Sunday. A draw between the two Premier League giants will pay out on the 5/2 (3.50) coefficient. Not much of a surprise here, considering United have been plowing over every team they've met with this season, sitting atop the Barclays table with full 12 points, while Chelsea started the season with an upsetting draw at Stoke, although they seem to have recovered very well since.

Keep in mind that for Manchester United Cleverley, Rafael, Welbeck and most importantly, captain Nemanja Vidic are injured and will miss the big derby on Sunday, although Chelsea also has problems of their own with striker Didier Drogba missing the game, as well, still suffering from concussion. Terry and Lampard should be well-rested after skipping the Leverkusen game and it seems that this game would be the perfect chance for Torres to prove himself worthy of the price paid. Meanwhile United are all good upfront with Rooney, Hernandez and Berbatov all available to Sir Alex Ferguson for the big game.
