It’s the Feud of Bidulph as two of the most iconic clubs in the English premier league clash later today at the Stanford bridge. These two (Chelsea and Manchester United ) have amassed 18 of the 30 premier league trophies since the competition’s re- establishment in 1992. Both clubs are beginning new journeys under New managers.
The Blues new boss Graham Potter is unbeaten in 7 outings (5 wins, 2 draws) and conceding only twice since being installed as Chelsea head coach. Chelsea have their solid defense to thank for their gain in form.
The Blues couldn’t get a fulfilling result but a goalless draw after an astonishing performance against The Bees in Midweek
Chelsea had just two days rest after the midweek as the play again today. The Blues haven’t won at home against the visitors since their 1-0 win inNovember 2017 with Graham Potter being the fourth Chelsea manager since that time.
The Red Devils are looking to capitalize on any form of tiredness within the Chelsea squad after a brilliant display, their best performance under Erik Ten Haag to beat Spurs by two goals to nil though they haven’t lost against the Spurs side since October 2020. After losing his first two, United new boss has tasted just one defeat in his last eight outings in the Premier league.
These two are separated by a point on the Premier league table and a win for Man United will see them leapfrog The Blues into the top four. A win for the Blues will bring them level on points with Tottenham Hotspurs in 3rd position.
Manchester United have dominated this fixture in recent years losing just once in eleven head to head clashes in all competitions ( 4 wins and 6 Draws).
