The Mancunians visit The Pensioners

Manchester United travel to London to take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this upcoming weekend in what could be a cracker of a match. In the corresponding encounter last season, Manchester United came from being 3–0 down to draw 3–3 courtesy of a pair of penalty goals from Wayne Rooney and a late goal from Javier Hernandez.

Manchester United enter this English Premier League fixture on the back of a narrow 3–2 Champions League victory against Primeira Liga team Sporting Braga at Old Trafford on Tuesday night. The Stamford Bridge club, meanwhile, lost their Champions League match against Ukrainian Premier League Champions Shakhtar Donetsk by 2–1 at the Donbass Arena in Donetsk. Japanese international Shinji Kagawa is a major doubt for Manchester United after the forward-thinking midfielder suffered an injury to his knee during the clash with Sporting Braga, but England international defender Chris Smalling could recover in time to make the bench against The Blues. Chelsea skipper John Terry will miss the game because of suspension while dynamic midfield man Frank Lampard is doubtful because of injury.

Chelsea Last Five Matches: Shakhtar Donetsk 1–2, Tottenham 4–2, Norwich City 4–1, Nordsjaelland 4–0, Arsenal 2–1.
