The Red Devils may have had the upper hand over their rivals at Stamford Bridge over the years, but this has changed dramatically over the last decade as since the 2002-03 Premier League season Sir Alex Ferguson's side haven't won a single game at the venue after nine attempts.Chelsea have been dominant at the Bridge, after having obtained six wins and three draws over United during this period in official Premier League games.

Arsenal vs Manchester United: Red Devils’ Minds Off Liverpool Rivalry
There’s no space left in the Red Devils’ minds to think about bitter rivals Liverpool as the race for the English Premier League title reaches its end with Arsenal vs Manchester United coming up soon.

And if only few tipped such a long league title drought to hit the Merseyside Reds, how many predicted an emphatic domination of Manchester United? Remarkably, the Red Devils have clinched as much as 11 cups under Alex Ferguson since 1990—thus making a giant step from 7 vs 18 Premier League triumphs to a draw.
