Chelsea v Man Utd: Preview

Mourinho returns to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday, and after Man Utd's poor start to the season, it's no surprise online bookmakers are offering Sarri's in form team as favourites to win this fixture.

Man Utd will be trying to end Chelsea’s winning home run, but Mourinho could struggle against his old club, who look impressive and remain unbeaten so far this season.

Fixtures between these sides are usually full of drama, and although Man Utd have won 2 of the last 5 Premier League clashes against Chelsea, while another 2 have ended in draws, Chelsea look the stronger team coming into the game.

Man Utd haven’t looked very convincing at all this season, with only 1 win in their last 5 matches, while Chelsea are joint top of the table with 6 wins, 2 draws and no losses and should easily take all 3 points from Man Utd on Saturday.

Chelsea come into this fixture sitting in 2nd place in the league table, with the same points as leaders Man City and 3rd place Liverpool, having not lost a match this season.

The Blues also haven’t lost at home to Man Utd since October 2012, and it looks as if they could easily continue their winning home run on Saturday against an unconvincing Man Utd squad.

Sarri will be looking to secure all 3 points from the match, especially as title rivals Man City and Liverpool face opponents this weekend that they should easily beat.

Luckily Chelsea have an easier run after this clash, facing Burnley, Crystal Palace and Everton, however a win against Man Utd would put them in a much stronger position going into them.

Fortunately, Sarri doesn’t have too many injury concerns ahead of the match at Stamford Bridge, with only Rudiger, Ampadu and van Ginkel currently recovering from injuries.

With Chelsea looking to challenge Man City as the primary rivals for the 2018-19 Premier League title, they really need to take a full 3 points from what will no doubt be a thrilling match!

Man Utd aren’t having such a good season, currently sitting in 8th place on 13 points.

Mourinho’s side have already lost 3 of their 8 Premier League fixtures, and they really can’t take another loss so early in the season, especially against Mourinho’s old club Chelsea.

Luckily for Man Utd, they have a couple of easier matches coming up when they face Everton and Bournemouth before taking on Man City in the Manchester Derby.

Winning at least 2 out of these 3 matches is a must, especially if they fail to beat Chelsea.

Man Utd had a strong result against Newcastle in their last outing, and seem to be regaining their form, however Mourinho will probably be without Luke Shaw for Saturday’s match.

Nemanja Matic is expected back in the line up, but Ander Herrera, Jesse Lingard and Marcos Rojo are also still recovering from injuries and look set to miss out.

Chelsea are never an easy challenge for Man Utd, and while Mourinho’s side looks to be improving, Chelsea are without a doubt the stronger team and should easily win this one.
