Manchester United vs Chelsea - All you need to know

It's Premier League day action and it's Manchester United vs Chelsea at Old Trafford today... Who comes out top???  

Defending champions, Chelsea will look to get another one over United as the top-four-race intensifies after winning the reverse tie by a lone goal in November. 

Match Facts:
-Manchester United have won just one of their last 14 matches in all competitions against Chelsea (D5 L8) – winning this exact fixture last season in the Premier League (2-0).

-Chelsea will be looking to do the league double over Man United for the fourth time in the Premier League and first time since 2009-10 under Carlo Ancelotti (also 2004-05 under Jose Mourinho and 1993-94 under Glenn Hoddle).

-Only Liverpool (4) have done the league double over Man United more times in Premier League history than Chelsea (3 – level with Man City and Arsenal).

-Manchester United have lost more Premier League games (18) and conceded more Premier League goals (67) against Chelsea than they have against any other side in the competition.

-Antonio Conte has won three of his four meetings in all competitions as Chelsea manager against Jose Mourinho (W3 L1) - twice in the Premier League and once in the FA Cup. 

-Jose Mourinho has seen his Man Utd side score more than once in just one of their seven home Premier League games against fellow ‘big six’ teams, although it came last season versus Chelsea (W3 D2 L2).

-Jose Mourinho has lost only two of his 32 Premier League matches at Old Trafford as Manchester United manager (W18 D12), with both defeats coming at the hands of rivals Man City. Indeed, Mourinho’s (2.06) points per game ratio at Old Trafford for Man United is worse than both Louis van Gaal (2.24) and Alex Ferguson (2.42).

-Mourinho has lost three matches in all competitions against Chelsea as Man United manager, more than against any other opponent.

-Eden Hazard has found the net with each of his last three shots from open play – he had scored with three of his previous 31 open play efforts.

-Romelu Lukaku has failed to score in any of his six Premier League matches against the ‘big six’ this season, attempting just four shots on target in those games.

-Against West Brom, Chelsea named their ninth Premier League starting XI this season without a British player – they are the only side to have done so in the top-flight this season. The Blues had only named a non-British starting XI three times in 962 Premier League games before this season (twice in December 1999, once in April 2016).
