This Saturday Man Utd and Chelsea go toe to toe at Old Trafford, with United top and Chelsea a close second in the Premier League this should be a titanic battle of England’s two best teams.
Here’s a few Stats that might help you predict the outcome of this fabulous encounter.
- This match has produced the fewest dismissals of any big four encounters, with just three red cards in 27 league meetings since 1996/97.
- Didier Drogba has only scored once against United and that came late in extra-time in the 2007 FA Cup Final.
- Man Utd have lead 1-0 at half-time in each of their last four home league games against Chelsea. The Blues have trailed 1-0 at half-time in seven of their last 12 trips to big four teams.
- Chelsea have won all of their last five league games against big four teams, including all four this season. No team has won all six big four matches in a season since 2003/04, with the best records being W5-D0-L1 BY Chelsea in 2005/06.
- Nine of the 13 league meetings between these teams since 2003/04 have finished with fewer than three goals.
And there you have it, should be enough pointers in there to help you pick the winner or will it end a draw? What I’ll be doing is putting a sneaky tenner on there been less than three goals scored in the game.
