A pair of great strategists will come face to face at Old Trafford, José Mourinho and Louis van Gaal, who lead two of the teams with the most star power in the Liga Premier. Chelsea hasn't lost in eight games and is the absolute leader of the tournament with 22 points, five more than its closest rival, Manchester City. The team has won all of its encounters since Week 6, most recently a 2-1 victory in an away game against Crystal Palace.
Manchester United salvaged a point with a 2-2 tie in its last game at West Brom. The Reds have won 7 of the tournament's last 9 points and have some of the season's top performing players in their ranks, including Argentinian Ángel Di María, named player of the month, and Colombia's Radamel Falcao, who scored the winning goal against Everton in Week 7.
Manchester United has been unable to pull ahead of Chelsea the last six times the legendary British clubs have met. In the 163 times the two teams have played each other, the scorecard favors ManU with 68 wins vs. 46 for the Blues and 49 ties.
