PL Predictions: Man Utd to deliver a reaction for Carrick at Chelsea

Lewis Jones provides betting tips for the weekend's Premier League action, backing Manchester United to get a reaction at Chelsea despite their poor form.

Lewis Jones, Sky Bet's top tipster, offers analysis and betting insight ahead of a busy Premier League weekend. He backs Manchester United to respond at Chelsea despite their run of no wins in eight games and Sunday's 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth. Jones expects pragmatism from Michael Carrick at Stamford Bridge, with United prioritising defensive discipline. He highlights Chelsea's absence of Joao Pedro as significant, with the Brazilian's injury reducing their goal output by 0.9 per 90 minutes in nine Premier League games without him. United are priced at 3/1 for the away win, which Jones considers value.

Elsewhere, Jones backs Leeds at 6/4 draw no bet against Bournemouth, citing their superior recovery time and resilience in recent form—just two losses in their last 17 league games. He also targets James McAtee for fouls in Brentford's match against Nottingham Forest, with the midfielder averaging 1.75 fouls per game this season. Jones warns against backing Sunderland as favourites away from home, noting their poor record when priced shorter than 3/1 in their last 12 away matches.
