It's been an eventful week for both of these teams with both drawing their Champions League fixtures. Now second-placed Manchester United host Chelsea who are two places and three poiints behind their rivals. With this game taking place on Sunday,, United could be down to third by kick-off if Liverpool can beat West Ham on Saturday. United haven't got a great recent record against Chelsea losing three of their last four games but Jose Mourinho will be keen to get a win over the club he used to manage. His team has only conceded 19 goals in the Premier League this season and in their last 11 league and cup games, only Newcastle United and Tottenham have been able to score against them.and you have go back to Boxing Day to the last time that they conceded a home goal. They still don't score enough goals though and only once i their last seven home league games have they scored more than twice and that was against Stoke City who have the worst defence in the league. Chelsea start the weekend in fourth place but could be fifth by kick-off if Tottenham beat Crystal Palace. They have only won two of their last seven away league games and that's a record that has to be improved on if they want to finish in the top four.and they follow this game up with a trip to the Etihad. Both teams have decent defences so go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in what is always a tight fixture.
