As Premier League giants Chelsea and Manchester United prepare to lock horns on Sunday at the Stamford Bridge, we take a quick look at five interesting facts you need to know about this game. The return of Jose Mourinho to the Bridge has been the most trending topic over the past one week, but there is even more…
Chelsea’s unbeaten run vs Man United
The Blues have not lost to the Red Devils in their last 10 league and cup games. Out of the 10 games played, the West London outfit have won five times and drawn a similar number of times.
Chelsea eyeing historic milestone
The 2014/15 champions are seeking their 50th win against Man United in all competitions and the Bridge is the best venue to get it. In fact, prior to the Red Devils’ win in October 2012 at the Stamford Bridge, Mourinho’s new club had not won at the venue since 2002.
Costa is a man on fire
Man United defenders need to keep a close eye on Diego Costa. The Spaniard has contributed in 50 league games for Chelsea, a record that consists of 39 goals and 11 assists in 62 games.
Mourinho vs Conte head to head record
Well, the only competitive game between Mourinho and Conte was back in December 2009 when Mourinho was in charge of Inter Milan and Conte at Atlanta. The two teams played out to a one-all draw but both managers watched the game from the stands as both were serving bans.
London is not Man United’s favorite hunting ground
Manchester United have quite a poor record of collecting points in London. The last time they won a Premier League game in this city was in May 2015 when they beat Crystal Palace 2-1.
