Louis van Gaal: 'Chelsea will play for a draw against Manchester United'

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal believes that Chelsea will play for a draw when they host his side in the Premier League.

Louis van Gaal has said that he expects Chelsea to play for a draw when they host Manchester United at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.

The league leaders are unbeaten at home this season, and can move 10 points clear at the top of the table with victory against the Dutchman's side tomorrow evening.

The manager said at his pre-match press conference: "The challenge is bigger than big. Firstly, Manchester United has not given the best results in away games and, secondly, Chelsea do not lose so much at home. So it will be very difficult.

"Chelsea play at home but I think they will be satisfied with a draw. However, of course they want to beat Manchester United and we want to beat them."

United have won their last six league matches, including last weekend's Manchester derby.
