The blues will come up against the reds on Sunday as both teams continue their resurgence from recent seasons slump.

• Stamford bridge will witness the return of Jose Mourinho but this time in the opposition dugout having been relieved of his job in charge of the blues back in December.

Antonio Conte took over last summer and since then has guided the blues to five wins,one draw and two losses.The blues however have won their last two matches,scoring five times and conceding none.

Jose's United are only two points adrift of the blues with a good start to the season being marred by losses to Watford,Manchester City and Feyenoord.

The blues have had a full week of rest and training ahead of Sunday's game but United's Europa league exertions mean they are visiting Stamford Bridge less than 72 hours after their 4:1 victory over Fernabache.

World record signing Paul Pogba netted twice in that encounter but will be under criticism if he looses the midfield tussle against £32m rated N'golo Kante who joined the blues from reigning champions Leicester City.

Chelsea have not lost any of the last nine meetings in all competition against Manchester United though four of those ended in draws.

This fixture ended in a 1:1 draw last season with in-form striker Diego Costa netting a stoppage time goal to give the blues a point after Jesse Lingard had put United ahead shortly after Zouma sustained an injury that has kept him out of action since then.The French man is due to make a return to action anytime soon.
