With two sides looking to rebound after disappointing seasons previous year, this one will be crucial.

The former England skipper has an ankle injury and, says The Times, his “expected absence will limit Antonio Conte’s defensive options. leaving the Chelsea manager with little choice but to persist with the back-three of Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz and Gary Cahill that played together in last week’s 3-0 win over Leicester City”.
“I have great respect for Mourinho”, he added.
“I would shake his hand”, he said to Sky Sports. I was not a kid. On both occasions he was rewarded with Premier League titles in the first season.
Mourinho travels to Stamford Bridge on Sunday to face his former club in a much anticipated Premier League fixture before hosting Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City three days later in the EFL Cup round of 16. “If I have that chance it will be normal”.
“I was lucky to have a big club like Man Utd, who focused on my career and not my last three months”.
Antonio Conte believes his predecessor José Mourinho deserves a positive reception on Sunday when he returns to Chelsea for the first time since being sacked a year ago.
Only once before has Jose Mourinho entered Stamford Bridge as a visitor.
The Red Devils have collected five points from a possible 15 in their last five Premier League games.
Tomorrow’s visit as a domestic rival will be different though.
“Me, the player, the club… we are sorry for him and this situation. And here we go”. “We played very well and scored a lot of goals”, Pogba told the club’s official website.
Having finished second to Besiktas in the Turkish Super Lig last season, Fenerbahce are now eight points off the pace in ninth place and coach Dick Advocaat is desperate for answers. You look at the table and see where they are.
“If it was a club where I gave nothing it would be more hard”. But from me, you are not going to have, ever, a bad word about any one of my previous clubs.
The double marked Pogba’s third and fourth goals since returning to Old Trafford, but some believe his £89 million ($109 million) price tag warrants a greater return and impact on the team. I think it is going to be really tight.

With emotions running high, will Mourinho be able to control himself if United score a last-minute victor? That was in my first period at Chelsea when I agreed it was time to change. I tried to do my job. “I am not specifically saying it is you”. I think, again, I have the maturity enough to control the emotion.
