Under 2.5 @ 2.08 odds

Goals have been scarce in recent meetings between these teams, and the trend looks set to continue this weekend. Five of the last six meetings between them have produced fewer than 2.5 goals, as both teams have been defensively conscious in these games.

Chelsea are not particularly the most creative team around, while Manchester United have taken the counter attack approach more times in big games this season. 

Under 4.5 cards @ 1.82

Referees are generally prudent with bookings in big games, and this has been the trend in recent games between these teams.

Four of the last five meetings between the Blues and the Red Devils have produced fewer than 4.5 cards. Also, the last six games involving Manchester United have produced fewer than 4.5 cards.

Draw @ 3.45

No Premier League game has ended in a draw as often as Chelsea vs. Manchester United, with 25 of their meetings ending in a stalemate. Indeed, six of the last eight meetings between them have ended without a winner, including the last four.

Given the defensive solidity shown by both teams in recent games, it will not be out of place to bet on a draw.
