The Premier League features a clash between two of its biggest teams this weekend as Chelsea lock horns with Ruben Amorim's Manchester United side in a crucial encounter at Old Trafford on Saturday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Manchester United vs Chelsea Preview
Chelsea are currently in fifth place in the Premier League standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The away side slumped to a damaging 3-1 defeat against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League this week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
Manchester United, on the other hand, are in 14th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Red Devils suffered a 3-0 defeat against local rivals Manchester City in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
