Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho is under a lot of pressure because of United’s poor form so far. The Portuguese manager will be looking to pull off an upset against his former side this weekend.
Manchester United have the quality to pick up the three points here but they need to get their act together play to their full potential.
Chelsea have a terrific home record against the Old Trafford outfit and they will fancy their chances once again. The visitors are heading into this game on the back of 3 wins from 6 league games and they will have to work very hard here.
Antonio Rüdiger withdrew from Germany’s squad during the international break and is the only injury worry for the home side this weekend.
