Manchester United trade tackles with Chelsea as this weekend fixtures round-up with this match at the Bridge.
Chelsea would be hoping that top goal scorer and marksman Tammy Abraham would be available even as Manchester United miss the services of star forward Marcus Rashford ahead of this clash.
Chelsea would complete with the aim of increasing the gap on Mourinho and his Tottenham Hotspur side who are just a point below Chelsea in fifth place following a 2-3 away victory at Aston Villa (Park).
This makes the match a must-win against Manchester United even as the Red Devils come rampaging against the Frank Lampard’s Chelsea side.
With both sides struggling to compete against League leaders Liverpool and Manchester City, fourth place is the maximum achievement both sides can attain from the league this season.
As they clash looms the pendulum of the match remains uncertain as both sides are brimming with quality and a certain level of motivation.
While young managerial brains (Frank Lampard for Chelsea) and (Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for Manchester United) orchestrates some tactical modification along in the coaching dugout. Chelsea has lost twice against the Red Devils this season.
The first was a 4-0 bashing against United in the opening day of the season in the Premier League as the Blues lost in an uncharacteristic way even though played away from home. They now lost 1-2 against United again at Stamford Bridge in the Carabao Cup with the Red Devils frontline flourishing on the occasion.
The match presents an opportunity for redemption for Chelsea even as both sides are struggling for form for many reasons at the moment. This makes this even more unpredictable with the visitors (United) looking like favourite going into this fixture.
But with the stake high in this match expect Chelsea to turn up against their rival. Willian’s returns will boost quality in transition for Chelsea more as the home advantage is expected to count for the Blues at Stamford Bridge.
