Declared to be the defying run for Chelsea as they face a serious threat for a top-four spot they’ve held for a large portion of the 2019-2020 Premier League. Their challenges an old adversary in Man United.

Man United returns to action after a stress-free two weeks off from football, plus time away from the unforgiving world. They take a trip to Stamford Bridge with a couple of fresh troops added to the Red Devil squad in their search to redeem their campaign.

Chelsea is facing a testing time with Frank Lampard, one that could make him or break him. The first fight is to stay in fourth place, holding it down and keeping Champions League football away from the others. Another fight in this exact tournament is against a formidable opponent, Bayern Munich.

Safe to say and easy to notice, God has never questioned Lampard and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with such tough tasks to overcome before. This is where the managers who are boys earn their right to be called real men!

The stakes are high and there are three points to play for as only six points are what separates the two meeting later this evening. The Blues want to return the favour of the 4-0 eye-opener they experienced on the opening day of the EPL at Old Trafford.

Yet, since the reverse fixture, we know exactly who’s looked a bigger threat of the two clubs. Their stats and run have seen many ups and many downs, one more than the other. The reality of the matter, only one has played an attractive brand of football.
