Super Sunday brings us an interesting arm-wrestle between Jose Mourinho’s clubs, past and present, when Manchester United take on Chelsea at Old Trafford with United heading into this clash coming off a defeat last time out in the Premier League.
Manchester United stumbled to a surprise 1-0 loss away at St James’s Park against Newcastle United, but the Red Devils redeemed themselves with a useful 0-0 draw away at Sevilla in the Champions League during the week, and this is certainly another match that Mourinho will not want to lose.
United hold a very solid home record at Old Trafford of 10-2-1 29/5, with their one defeat this season being a 2-1 loss to their ‘noisy neighbours’, City, but they’re unbeaten in their last five since which includes wins over Bournemouth, Stoke City and Huddersfield Town.
Chelsea seem to have rediscovered their mojo in recent times as they’ve bounced back from disappointing defeats to Bournemouth and Watford in the Premier League, as The Blues have recorded a 3-0 win over West Brom in the league, a 4-0 hammering of Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup and held Barcelona to a 1-1 draw.
However, all three of these positive results were achieved at Stamford Bridge, but on their travels, Chelsea have suffered back-to-back defeats to Arsenal in the League Cup and at aforementioned Watford, so they’ll be keen to put an end to this losing streak here today.
The loss at Watford was Chelsea’s first defeat in four matches on their travels as they’d previously collected wins at Huddersfield Town and Brighton along with taking points at Everton and Arsenal, whilst their away record stands at 7-3-3 25/13.
To sum up, Mourinho won’t want to lose to his former club, while Chelsea will be happy to avoid defeat to maintain their challenge for a Champions League spot. Take unders here.
