We said: Chelsea 1-1 Manchester United
A side more clinical than Aston Villa or Brentford would have broken Chelsea's streak of clean sheets by now, and Man United will feel confident of doing that here, despite taking a multitude of efforts to finally get the better of Lloris on Wednesday.
The Etihad aside, performances in big games have been Ten Hag's bread and butter so far, but with Potter making a few key alterations and Wednesday's exertions taking their toll on Man United in particular, we can envisage a third successive 1-1 draw in this fixture.
