Jose Mourinho and Stamford Bridge have a great understanding between them , why do I say this?
The only reason is the fact that Mr. Jose Mourinho hasn't yet lost a game at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea, a run of 70 unbeaten games. To go there and get three points is definitely going to be a herculean task for the reds. Not to forget that our talisman striker Robin Van Persie who notched up a record 30 goals in all competitions last season is out injured and the saviour this season so far has been Wayne Rooney in van Persie's absence won't be fit for tonight's fixture. In this scenario the only limited options that David Moyes has is of either playing Welbeck or Chicharito upfront. Both of them definitely have the talent in them but lack consistency.
Mourinho's tactics against top teams has been interesting. He is going for draws and it was evident when Chelsea drew at Old Trafford and also against Arsenal. Both being goalless. So this fixture might prove to be dull , but without RvP and Rooney Mourinho will fancy his chances.
It will be interesting to see how the gaffer selects his playing XI for this immense fixture against the blues. Manchester United go into the fixture standing a lowly 7th in the premier league standings which makes the game a must win for the Reds. The fans do seem optimistic before the start of the game as they think they have what it takes to topple Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and rewrite history. In order to get the 3 points at The Bridge United will have to be at their best. Moyes needs to think twice on whom he should send in as a striker. Welbeck or Javier Hernandez?
In my opinion it should be Chicharito without any second thoughts. He has scored 7 times against the blues which is the most by a red against them. This stat might prove to be a boost for the team as they will have confidence going into the game.
The biggest news that can be said is the fact that both RvP and Rooney have traveled to London with the team. Thus this can be something that will be great for the Reds in case they start. The blues will be caught offside for sure and Mourinho finally finding his competition in Moyes in mind games!
It definitely will be a very big day for both the teams for sure. United are looking to close in on the Top-4 whereas Chelsea is looking to close the gap with league leaders and pace setters Arsenal. Hence it looks an exciting day in offer for the neutral as well as the supporters but definitely a mouth watering contest is waiting.
Somewhere or the other the pressure is relatively less on United because they know that without the likes of Rooney,Persie and Jones getting a win is difficult so they may go for a kill and rewrite history at THE STAMFORD BRIDGE.
Well Mourinho, be scared cause we have a baby assassin in Adnan Januzaj who can kill you off single-handedly. Only time will tell.
Red Devils, what do you think? Do we stand a chance today?
