Joy for Poch but pressure piles on Ten Hag

The result could have big implications for both managers.

Mauricio Pochettino was overjoyed to see his team, who went 2-0 up in the first-half, before United pegged them back to 2-2 before the break, pull off a morale-boosting win.

As has been the case for most of the season, Cole Palmer was at the centre of everything good that Chelsea did.

For United and their beleaguered manager Erik ten Hag, there was despair. Before the match, he played down their slim chances of finishing in the top four and they are now out to 30.029/1 on the Exchange to finish in the traditional Champions League places.

United's new minority owners will review his position at the end of the season. England's Gareth Southgate 5/23.50 is the favourite to replace him but out of work Graham Potter is 4/15.00 and Germany's young head coach Julian Nagelsmann shortened to 9/110.00 this week.

Every match is a big one now for Ten Hag and they don't come any bigger than Sunday's visit of Liverpool to Old Trafford in the Premier League. Read an in-depth betting preview here from Saturday.
