Call us crazy but, without wishing to put the kiss of death on this one, we think that Manchester United are going to come through their first big test of the campaign with flying colours.
Even at this early stage this is a season-defining game. Win and the confidence will be coursing through the veins ahead of another crunch clash with Manchester City the following weekend. It will give this new team belief that it can put a run together.
Lose and the gap will be 13 points – insurmountable even at this stage – and will leave the team and the supporters feeling like it’s going to be another season of one step forward and two back.
But the omens appear good for Manchester United. Loic Remy pulled up with a groin injury in The Champions League on Tuesday and Diego Costa is apparently struggling. But we all know what Jose Mourinho is like. He has reportedly ruled Costa out of the United game but We would still be surprised if he didn’t make the squad for Sunday. Expect the ‘Costa travels with squad to Manchester’ headlines imminently.
But if they are indeed both injured Chelsea will have to start with Didier Drogba – one of the greatest players in Premier League history but way past his best now. Manchester United will be full of confidence if he is named as the main striker for the clash.
As for Manchester United the main injury concern surrounds Angel di Maria who hurt his leg on Monday. Without him United lose so much of their penetration and ability to get behind defences. United fans will pray that he is fit.
It should be a classic encounter. Manchester United fans: is this one winnable?

Beating chelsea would boost Manunited’s confidence and preparation 4mancity. It would also be an indication that the trophy is still open.
