2. Mourinho’s Record At Stamford Bridge
The ‘Special One’ has an outstanding record at the Bridge- Chelsea have never conceded a goal in the 4 matches at Stamford Bridge when the Blues have been under Jose Mourinho’s stewardship. In fact United have failed to score in any of their last 3 matches against Chelsea and on top of that, the Blues have won the last 10 of their 11 games at the Bridge. With that kind of a record, it’s hard to argue a case for United, especially if Chelsea manage yet another shutout this Sunday.
Mourinho realizes the importance of these potential six-pointers, and the fact that points won and lost in matches between the big six could be a decisive factor in what promises to be one of the toughest title races in recent seasons. So far, Chelsea have won both home matches against big-six opponents (2-1 against both Manchester City and Liverpool), and another win will put them in pole position when the run for the title enter home stretch in April-May.
