Former Chelsea, Liverpool, and West Ham star Joe Cole made a huge prediction ahead of the Premier League showdown between Manchester United and Chelsea at Old Trafford.
Manchester United welcome Chelsea to Stamford Bridge on Sunday evening for their first Premier League game since Erik ten Hag was dismissed as manager.
The Red Devils will be led by interim boss Ruud Van Nistelrooy, despite agreeing a deal with Sporting's Ruben Amorim, who will take over during the international break.
United actually have a good record against Chelsea at home, unbeaten in their last 8 (W5, D3), but their current form means they are not favourites coming into this one.
