Manchester United will look to bounce back when they host Chelsea tonight at Old Trafford, in a high-stakes clash as part of Matchweek 5 of the Premier League.
United head into the game under pressure after a disappointing start to the season, which included a crushing 3-0 derby defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad last weekend.
Portuguese manager Rúben Amorim is already under scrutiny, having collected just four points from the opening four fixtures, matching the club’s worst start to a league campaign since 1992/93, according to Opta statistics.
Amorim hopes home advantage and the support of the Old Trafford faithful will spur his team back to winning ways. Encouragingly for United, they have not lost to Chelsea at Old Trafford since 2013.
On the other side, Chelsea, led by Enzo Maresca, are also seeking a turnaround after a tough week. The Blues fell 3-1 to Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday in their Champions League group stage opener.
Domestically, they were held to a 2-2 draw against Brentford in their last league outing and are eager to reignite their title challenge amid fierce competition from Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City.
