Man Utd vs Chelsea prediction - Marcus Rashford tipped to get off to a flier

It's all kicking off at Old Trafford this weekend.

And if you're having a punt on United's opening test of the season, have a quick read of our Pools punting preview.

We've asked our squad of first team writers, the men and women who know their teams best, to give us an insight into what we should be looking out for this weekend.

Rich Fay gives his rundown on United's Premier League opener against Chelsea.

Win, lose or draw?

United to win. And 6/5 is a great price at thepools.com for them to do just that.

Who's a good bet for 1st scorer?

Marcus Rashford. Looks much better playing as a No.9 and will be keen to extend his impressive pre-season form. 5/1 first scorer and 9/5 anytime are both great prices with thepools.com

Who's on the naughty step? (first card)

Luke Shaw. Will have a difficult test against a pacey Chelsea side and does not have the best disciplinary record. Over 4.5 cards is 5/6 with thepools.com

Who's on pens?

Paul Pogba. So 5/2 first scorer and 14/5 anytime are both great prices.

Will United keep a clean sheet?

No. Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are good additions, but United still remain open at the back. 3/4 is solid for both teams to score.
