Premier League: Clash of the titans this weekend, Manchester United vs Chelsea FC
This weekend will see two Premier
League titans go head-to-head, Manchester United will face Chelsea FC who
are riding on the wave of a 5-match win on Sunday in the hopes of making a
statement this season. Both sides have won five of their last six Premier
League games and played out a cautious 0-0 draw at Old Trafford when they met
in the reverse fixture at the start of the season.
Blues Manager (the chosen one) Jose
Mourinho will take on Manchester United for the first time since his return. While
current league title holders United may have less chances of retaining their
title this year, the Blues currently occupy the 3rd spot on the
table, they are 2 points behind Arsenal who will host Fulham on Saturday, while
second-placed Manchester City will welcome Cardiff City in the same weekend.
David Moyes’s side is 11 points
behind Mourinho’s side and any form of defeat will deflate further their hopes of
making any impact this year. Robin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney’s injury concern
will surely take Manchester United in the defending startup while Danny Welbeck
will surely be looking to take the pressures on himself.
Meanwhile, Chelsea already have
scored nine goals in their last four matches, with Fernando Torres playing
excellent having scored couple of goals in his last three matches. Chelsea will be heading into the game
without Frank Lampard and Ivanovic who are facing injury problems and would
remain sidelined.
