Match Preview

The conclusion of the international break comes with a crunchy Saturday lunchtime encounter in the English Premier League. It does not get any bigger than Chelsea vs Manchester United with the two clubs forging a fierce rivalry over the years. While both clubs will be aiming at wins for respective reasons, neutrals should be looking forward to an exciting clash.

Momentarily, it is Chelsea who is odds-on to get the better of the Red Devils. An impressive start to life in the domestic league has seen the Londoners seat in second-place. Nine points separate Maurizio Sarri's men and the opponent they come up against who occupy the eighth position after eight matches this season.

For Chelsea, the mission will be to simply replicate the form witnessed in the era of "Sarriball". Aside the draw against Liverpool, the Blues have maintained an enviable winning run, keeping things tidy at the back as well in most cases.

Having tuned the overall win-loss ratio  against Manchester United to their advantage in recent years, the Stamford Bridge team is expected to do due diligence in their backyard.

On the other hand, Manchester United will not be a mere pushover as it has been the case in these encounters in recent seasons. Albeit the apparent crisis casting doubts on the club's capabilities, many expect a renaissance from Jose Mourinho's brigade.

However, the test with Chelsea will be reckoned by many as one to have presented itself at an odd hour. Manchester United enters Saturday's game on the back of a hard-fought 3-2 win over Newcastle. While the manner in which the dramatic comeback has been lauded by many, the Red Devils are expected to feed on the momentum to turn their fortunes around this season - starting with the complex task of getting the results against Chelsea.
