Chelsea welcomes Manchester United at home with pressure building on their shoulders following 2-2 draws against Arsenal at home and the improved Leicester City away from home. This has been made tough with Jose Mourinho and South Korean International Heung Min-Son inspiring a 2-3 away win on the road against Aston Villa for Tottenham Hotspurs.
With aspirations brewing among both sides already in the season, we evaluate the chance both sides have got going into this match. Following the cracker between Chelsea and Manchester United, we take a look at the three significant things we expect from this fixtures.
Top Four Aspiration
Chelsea and Manchester United might be in a 90 minutes battle at Stamford Bridge on Monday Night. However, the real contention is for a place in the Champions League widely regarded as top-four places.
The Blues sit in an advantageous position in fourth place with Liverpool, Manchester City and Leicester City only above them (Chelsea) in the League standing.
At the moment, the Red Devils sit six points adrift of the Blues and this with spur them on against Chelsea.
This being said Frank Lampard and his side would go all out for the three points as Tottenham mounts pressure for the same top four with an away win at the weekend.
Iota Of Revenge For Chelsea
The Blues and United would renew hostilities in London on Monday more like they did against Arsenal some weeks back at the Bridge.
But this fixture may be different as it has got a lot more attached to it. The Blues would do anything within their reach and ability as they play at home against Manchester United.
With the home advantage in fact for the Blues, they would aim for revenge as they have lost twice against the Red Devils on both occasions this season.
In the Carabao Cup Chelsea lost at home while they lost 4-0 against Manchester United at Old Trafford on match day 1 of the Barclays Premier League this season.
The host would go for it as revenge will be up in their sleeves against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
Odion Ighalo’s United Debut
The Nigerian moved to Manchester United from China as United sought for a striker following the injury to Marcus Rashford.
Now, the major talking point is the signing of Odion Ighalo and his possible debut as regard to the Coronavirus disease that the club has kept him from.
But with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his side facing Chelsea, the experience will be key as we look forward to the players’ debut on the Manchester United red shirt possibly against Chelsea.
