Chelsea vs Manchester United LIVE: Latest team news and build-up to Saturday’s Premier League clash

Chelsea vs Manchester United
Premier League
Venue: Stamford Bridge
Kick-off: 12.30pm BST, Saturday October 20

Premier League football returns with a bang this weekend, and the first match of gameweek nine starts with a blockbuster at Stamford Bridge .

Jose Mourinho and Manchester United begin a testing run of fixtures with a trip to Chelsea, with his former side looking to defend their unbeaten start to the season under new manager Maurizio Sarri.

United secured a thrilling and dramatic 3-2 comeback against Newcastle before the international break, but Saturday’s clash will go a long way to determining whether that was the spark that inspired an upturn in form, or merely a flash in the plan.

Mourinho and Sarri will speak to the press today at their respective conferences, and we’ll bring you the latest team news as and when we get it.

We’ll be present at both press conferences today and tomorrow’s match at the Bridge, so stay tuned for all the build-up…
