Chelsea vs Man United: Match Preview And Possible lineups
By Mgdon
We take a look ahead to Saturday's early Premier League clash between Chelsea and Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea:
Antonio Rudiger should be fit to play after recovering from a groin problem, but there are late worries over the status of Ross Barkley and Ethan Apadu who have returned from the international break carrying knocks.
Man United:
Jesse Lingard has still not recovered and there will be late calls to be made over Ander Herrera, Scott McTominay, Nemanja Matic, Luke Shaw and Marouane Fellaini.
Sarri:
They are a strong team, maybe that player by player they are the best in Premier League. At the moment City is better as a team, but player-by-player they [United] are very strong. I'm very happy with the results but we need to improve, and we can improve because we have had no time to work [together]. I had eight players at the beginning of August, then we play every three days, so it is difficult to work, to improve the team, to improve the players. In the future we can improve, and we need to. To improve the performance, and in the defensive phase, we're giving too many opportunities to the opponents.
Mourinho:
For me, it is another game. Would I celebrate like crazy my team's goal at Stamford Bridge or my team's victory at Stamford Bridge? I don't think so. I think I would try to control myself and to respect the stadium and the supporters that were my supportersand stadium for many years. I want to do well for my team, players, support. I am 100 percent Manchester United tomorrow - no more space for anything other than respect for the stadium and the fans.
