[quote author=pamcode post=50255083]Match Preview
Jose Mourinho will make his first return to Stamford Bridge as Manchester United manager as his side take on Chelsea on Nissan Super Sunday.
The Portuguese manager had two successful spells as Blues boss, but was dismissed by the club ten months ago before moving to Old Trafford in the summer.
United will play their third game in less than a week live on Sky Sports, with a goalless draw with Liverpool on Monday before registering a 4-1 victory over Fernabache in the Europa League on Thursday.
Chelsea have also won their last two Premier League games while keeping clean sheets, including a 3-0 victory over current champions Leicester last Saturday.
The Blues also have a good recent record against their opponents having not lost any of their last seven league games against United (W3 D4).

Team news
Chris Smalling will be assessed ahead of Sunday's game after coming off at half-time on Thursday due to what United have described as a minor muscular injury.

Mourinho also said on Thursday that playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who was absent from the matchday squad for an eighth straight game, will be "ready very soon to play" having recovered from a thigh injury.
Chelsea will make a late decision over whether to field Willian following the death of his mother while Oscar has also been away following a family bereavement, but
Jose Mourinho says he has "no bad feelings" and Chelea cannot "delete" him from their history.
John Terry is avaliable another full week of training following an ankle injury but Cesc Fabregas (thigh) and defender Branislav Ivanovic, who has a minor injury to an undisclosed muscle, are out.
Elsewhere, Kurt Zouma is set to return to first-team training next week following his long-term knee injury.
Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte has confirmed John Terry has recovered from injury

Match stats
Manchester United have lost more Premier League fixtures against Chelsea than any other side (16).
Of those 16 Chelsea wins against Manchester United, five were recorded by Jose Mourinho, more than any other boss for the Blues.
Jose Mourinho lost just one league game at Stamford Bridge between 2004/05 and 2014/15 (W76 D21). He then lost four of his final eight games there in 2015/16 (W3 D1).
The only time in his career Mourinho has managed an opposition side at Stamford Bridge was with Inter Milan in March 2010, knocking out Chelsea in the Champions League.
David Luiz has twice scored against Manchester United in the Premier League but his only own goal is against the Red Devils.
Wayne Rooney has gone six Premier League games without scoring against Chelsea, this after converting two penalties against them in February 2012.
Manchester United have won just one of their last eight Premier League trips to London (W1 D3 L4).
Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored against Chelsea in both of his appearances against them last season in the Champions League.
After scoring with four of his first 15 shots in the Premier League, Ibrahimovic has failed to find the net with any of his last 26 in the competition.
Diego Costa has scored seven times in his opening eight league games this season. Only two Chelsea players have scored more goals in their first eight matches of a campaign - Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink in 2001/02 (cool and Diego Costa himself in 2014/15 (9).
This season, Jose Mourinho has registered his lowest points total (14) after his first eight league games with a new club since his stint with Uniao de Leiria (10 points).
Since his debut in August 2012, Eden Hazard has scored more Premier League goals than any other midfielder in the competition (44).

http://www.skysports.com/football/chelsea-vs-man-utd/preview/356418[/quote Jose Mourinho goes head-to-head with Chelsea boss Antonio Conte
Jose Mourinho returns to Stamford Bridge for only the second time as an opposition manager when Chelsea host Manchester United on Super Sunday.
The Portuguese returns to the scene of some of his greatest triumphs in management, where he won three Premier League titles across two spells at the club.
However, just seven months after leading Chelsea to the league title in May 2015, Mourinho was sacked as manager with the Blues just one point above the relegation zone.

Mourinho triumphed the last time he stepped into the opposition dugout at the Bridge, knocking Chelsea out of the Champions League while in charge of Inter Milan in 2010.
Having got the better of Carlo Ancelotti back then, he is now tasked with doing the same against Antonio Conte.
Ahead of Jose's eagerly-anticipated return to Chelsea, Danny Higginbotham examines the key tactical themes...
Chelsea vs Man Utd
October 23, 2016, 3:30pm
Live on
Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass
Kante the key for Chelsea?
DANNY SAYS: Conte's decision to revert to three at the back in recent weeks has been key to N'Golo Kante's increasing influence at Chelsea. Playing in front of two centre-backs as we saw earlier in the season, he wouldn't really get involved and that was something we didn't see much during his time at Leicester, where he got on the ball much more.
That's not a criticism, though. Chelsea are much more possession-based than Leicester are, so it's OK for him to sit back in midfield, deal with threats and aid in the transition from defence to attack quickly.
Three at the back breathing life into N'Golo Kante, says Danny Higginbotham
The problem that has stemmed from playing a 4-1-4-1 system was that Kante would drop in between the two centre-backs when they split. While he can protect the back four, playing virtually at centre-back at times is not his strength and he clearly wants to get further forward in midfield.
In recent games, however, Kante has been getting higher up the pitch as the three of Gary Cahill, David Luiz and Cesar Azpilicueta at the back has given him the confidence and insurance to do so. The change in the system is a huge benefit to both Kante and Chelsea as it means three defenders are defending instead of shoehorning Kante into one of those positions.
In Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho, Sunday sees two managers who, first and foremost, will want to be defensively strong but are both tactically astute.
Sky Sports pundit Danny Higginbotham
Tactical change helping Costa?
DANNY SAYS: Conte's tactical change has had a big effect on Diego Costa too. He was so isolated in the previous formation, Chelsea struggled to get players to support him and his influence diminished. Now things are completely different, he has players who can play off him and vice versa, players that ease the pressure on him by occupying defenders.
Diego Costa, Willian and Eden Hazard have thrived further forward for Chelsea
Chelsea are reaping the rewards of playing three at the back because it gives licence for Willian and Eden Hazard to get forward and support Costa - with that insurance at the back, the whole team has shifted up field.
Earlier formation created big gaps between defenders and midfielders or between the midfield and Costa. The balances between the different lines on the pitch were a problem whereas now, with a back three, there is a nice balance between defence and attack.
Jose's tactical dilemma
Jose Mourinho faces a tactical dilemma for Manchester United's trip to Chelsea
Wing-backs a weakness?
DANNY SAYS: The wing-back positions could be an issue for Chelsea on Super Sunday. We expect Manchester United to attack down the wings at Stamford Bridge and they could exploit those positions if Conte opts for three at the back again.
Will United look to exploit Victor Moses' defensive frailties?
What you find when playing with wing-backs is that opposition teams can create two versus ones if they're smart. For everything Victor Moses offers going forward, defence is not the strongest aspect of his game. He leaves a lot of space after committing to attacks and that's something United could look to target.
Antonio and Valencia and Juan Mata have forged a good partnership down the right for United when they've played together. Valencia is a willing runner while Mata's quality on the ball is for all to see, it remains to be seen whether they can hurt Chelsea out wide.
Terry fit to face United

Tall trio to torment Chelsea?
DANNY SAYS: On first sight, Mourinho appears to set United up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, but that frequently reverts to 4-1-4-1. In this system, full-backs push forward when the ball is on their flank in the support of the likes of Marcus Rashford and Ashley Young, who played out wide at Anfield.
Can Chelsea cope with United's aerial superiority?
That numerical advantage in crossing areas resulted in United flooding the penalty area with Paul Pogba, Marouane Fellaini and Zlatan Ibrahimovic - three of the biggest players in the Premier League. This occurred on Monday night but United were unable to make the most of those situations.
Jose: Bridge no longer lucky
Jose Mourinho says Stamford Bridge is no longer lucky for him ahead of Chelsea clash
Regardless, this still presents a huge problem for Chelsea, who have to decide whether to send an extra defender out to the wide position to prevent the cross or keep a man inside to mark the United attacking trio. It will be interesting to see how they deal with the threat.
