EPL: Chelsea v Manchester United preview


Chelsea v Manchester United preview

A number of familiar faces will return to Stamford Bridge on Sunday with Chelsea playing host to Manchester United.


The reigning Premier League champions will head into the match looking to remain within touching distance of the early-season pace setters, while they will also be hoping to bounce back from their 3-0 humbling at the hands of Roma in the Champions League during the week.

Chelsea will certainly fancy their chances of securing a positive result against United, as they have lost just one of their last 15 home league games against the Red Devils, a run that includes last season's 4-0 success.

Boss Antonio Conte could be boosted by the return of midfielder N'Golo Kante, who has missed the last six games with a hamstring injury, although Victor Moses remains unavailable due to a similar problem.

United will head into the match having lost just one of their 10 league games to date this term, although they have failed to win any of their last two away fixtures, going down 2-1 at Huddersfield in October.

Sunday's match at Stamford Bridge will see United boss Jose Mourinho return to the club he managed over two different spells, while Nemanja Matic, Romelu Lukaku and Juan Mata will also be returning to their former stomping ground.

One man who will not feature is Jesse Lingard, who suffered a back injury during the midweek Champions League triumph over Benfica.
