Matchday 9: Jose Mourinho returns to the Bridge
The video below shows all the interesting statistics and facts you need to know about the ninth round of fixtures in the Premier League. It also has a special focus on the Chelsea vs Man Utd game.
Matchday 9: Social media buzz
The Chelsea vs Man United game has been trending on social media for the past one week. The first reason is the return of Jose Mourinho to the Stamford Bridge, where he worked as a manager for five seasons. The second reason is the recent good performance by Man Utd over Turkish giants Fenerbahce in the Europa League last Thursday when the world’ most expensive footballer, Paul Pogba, scored a brace in the 4-1 win. The Red Devils’ faithful will be hoping for a repeat of a similar performance at the Bridge or even better. As for the hosts, they will be out to prove to the whole world that they are doing just fine under Antonio Conte especially after being accused of sabotaging Mourinho last season by some sections of the media.
Here are some reactions on social media
Antonio Conte wants Chelsea fans to give Jose Mourinho a warm reception - but says once the game starts, he becomes an "an enemy". #CFC
