The biggest game of the latest Premier League round will see Man United lock horns with Chelsea. The league leaders will make the trip to Old Trafford, with a win key to each team’s own ambition – a top-four finish and winning the league.
The game kicks off on Sunday. There are plenty other games on Saturday for football fanatics, but if you can’t wait to see the Red Devils and the Blues battle it out, here are four stats to prepare you for the weekend clash.
How long has it been since Man United beat Chelsea?
The Red Devils are without a win against Chelsea in eight games. Yes, EIGHT games. That has been four draws and four defeats for United since their last victory.
When was the last time Chelsea pulled off a league double over the Red Devils?
It was seven years ago. Although the Blues have had the upper hand over the rivals in recent seasons, they have not been able to beat Man United home and away in a single season. Will that end on Sunday?
How has Mourinho fared vs. his former employers since his sacking?
Not well. Since taking over at Old Trafford, he has met his former club twice. Both ended in defeats, one being an embarrassing 4-0 loss.
Have Chelsea’s back four done well vs. England’s most successful club?
Yes, very well indeed. Chelsea have only conceded three goals in their last 10 meetings with the 20-time Premier League champions.
