Sky Sports Super Sunday 4pm kick off today at Old Trafford see’s Manchester United and Chelsea lock horns as the fifth match of their respective Premier League campaigns but already football pundits have ruled out The Blues from winning the ultimate prize in British football this season, predicting it will instead be The Sky Blues of Manchester City who are United’s only rivals for glory. But in truth it’s way too early to tell and if Chelsea were able to pick up a win today, which they have an experienced team more than capable of doing, then they will leap frog United in the table. Hardly a case of the title being sewn up yet?
Chelsea themselves have won four on the bounce and a draw away to Stoke on the opening day of the season might prove to be a great result when all is said and done. Though obviously they will be aware that United have scored an incredible 18 goals in 4 matches (a new Premier League record) with Wayne Rooney scoring eight!
No new injuries were picked up midweek so it’s still Nemanja Vidic (calf), Tom Cleverley (foot) and Rafael (shoulder) and Danny Welbeck (hamstring) who won’t play. Though he will likely make many changes from the side who did play in Europe such as Rio Ferdinand and obviously Rooney, Hernandez and Ashley Young will start.
