5 bold Premier League predictions: Arsenal beat Manchester City, Burnley win
4. Mourinho gets win at Stamford Bridge
There’s another big match on Sunday, as Chelsea host Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United side at Stamford Bridge. Last season, Mourinho was humiliated at his old stomping ground with Chelsea running out 4-0 winners and Antonio Conte celebrating every goal like they won the Champions League.
Mourinho bemoaned Conte’s attitude in this match and he’ll fancy his chances of getting some revenge considering Chelsea’s current form. The Blues haven’t been too consistent of late and they were thrashed by Roma in the Champions League in midweek.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Mourinho’s United side have been accused of being boring and in their midweek win over Benfica the Portuguese manager aimed some hand gestures at the fans. Mourinho won’t change for anyone and his style of play should be considered irrelevant as it normally results in wins.
The Red Devils haven’t been as electric as they were at the start of the season and their performances of late have been more gritty. That kind of determination is what they’ll need to take all three points on Sunday and Mourinho will definitely be celebrating on the touchline.
