Sarri To Say It Could Be Dull

The international break probably fell at a bad time in the end for Jose Mourinho. But he'll cling onto a sense of momentum if United can escape his former home with a point.

Manchester United had one of those matches which can define a season last time out against Newcastle. Trailing 2-0 at home after 10 minutes, it could have been a final straw for Mourinho had the second half not brought a thrilling 3-2 turnaround victory.

But that comeback success will quickly be forgotten if the Red Devils get back to losing ways on Saturday lunchtime so it’s vital for Jose to keep some sense of momentum going. He’ll know that his best chance of achieving that is to frustrate Chelsea, and ‘no goalscorer’ in the match is a sizeable best price 12/1 shot with Skybet.


The Blues are having a great time of things under Sarri, being unbeaten in all competitions, but they do struggle for goals against top opponents. In their last 8 league games against last season’s top four they’ve failed to ever score more than 1 goal.

The headline-magnet Mourinho will think that if he can keep Hazard quiet then he can stop Chelsea. Spoiling tactics have worked for him many times before and he could reap some respite at Stamford Bridge.
