Chelsea host Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.
Former player and current pundit Jamie Redknapp believes Chelsea and Manchester United will have a share of the spoils this weekend as they meet at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Sky Sports report.
United, coming off the back of a 0-0 draw at Liverpool and then a 4-1 win over Fenerbahce, complete the week with another tasty fixture as Jose Mourinho returns to his former stomping ground.
The self-proclaimed Special One managed Chelsea on two occasions and won three Premier League titles in West London, yet a poor season last term ultimately caused him to lose his job.
So far Mourinho has had mixed fortunes at Old Trafford, but results in the last five days have been promising and they can travel to Chelsea with the confidence of picking up a positive result.
Writing in his column for Sky Sports, Redknapp admits he wants to see United adopt a more attacking approach but believes Mourinho will stick to his principles and come away with another draw.
“Hopefully we see more end-to-end action than we did on Red Monday, but I think it will finish as another draw. Mourinho will make United hard to beat, but I just hope he takes the game to Chelsea too,” Redknapp explained.
Chelsea, now under the guidance of Antonio Conte, have also experienced an inconsistent start to the season but last weekend’s 3-0 win over Leicester City sees them currently sit in fifth spot.
The Blues have already faced two potential title challengers in Arsenal and Liverpool and lost them both, therefore they will be eager set the record straight when United visit on Sunday.
A draw would not be a bad result for either side, and with both managers renowned for their tactical wisdom, it would not come as a great surprise to see the game end in stalemate and potentially without any goals.
