Man united vs Chelsea preview.

United manager Mourinho will be hoping that his side can inflict a first defeat on Chelsea this season after losing the two previous encounters this season, the first in the Premier League and the second in the FA Cup quarter-final.Chelsea are widely tipped to win the Premier League although Manchester United still have aspirations of finishing in the top four and taking one of the Champions League places available for next season.
Clearly, a fascinating encounter awaits us.
Team news
David de Gea is set to return to the Manchester United's starting line-up against leaders Chelsea.The goalkeeper missed last weekend's trip to Sunderland with a minor injury and was an unused substitute in the midweek trip to Anderlecht.Wayne Rooney (ankle) and Ashley Young (groin) trained before that matchso will be hoping to prove themselves fit for Sunday, but Phil Jones (foot), Chris Smalling (knee) and Juan Mata (groin) are out.
Mean while conte should have a fully-fit squad for the trip to Old Trafford.Wing-back Victor Moses returned from a toe injury against Bournemouth last Saturday and came through unscathed.Conte could therefore name an unchanged side from the 3-1 over Bournemouth.
 Stats
Manchester United are without a win in eight Premier League games against Chelsea (D4 L4); their longest ever winless streak against a single opponent in the competition.
The blues are looking to achieve a league double over Manchester United for the first time since the 2009/10 season under Carlo Ancelotti.
