Manchester this season so far has not displayed that certain flair that they did last season. With the trip Sunday to Stamford Bridge in the afternoon Man Utd will be without center defender Nemanja Vidic for being sent off for a deliberate handball the previous game. Chelsea will be without center defender John Terry either, he got sent off during the Chelsea Vs Man City game.
Should Chelsea maintain there phenomenal unbeaten streak of 84 home matches undefeated streak against arch rivals Man Utd they will have a 9 point advantage over them, but the league has just started and there is a long way to go. And we all know the saying “Never rule of Man Utd of the title race”. Chelsea defeated Man Utd last season at home 2-1, so we will see how this game pans out…
Lampard told the Sun: “It would be significant to go nine points ahead of them in the ‘us and United race’ but that’s not the title race… Liverpool played very well against Manchester United and you cannot discount them as they’re up there with us while Arsenal got a great result and are a very good team.”
“Man United are the sort of team that can be points behind but you can never forget about them — they can put a lot of wins together,” he said.
“Whatever happens next week it won’t have any final bearing, but it’d be nice to put a bit of space between us and them,”
