The Premier League is back after the international break and what a game to kick things off as Chelsea take on Manchester United.
Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea are currently joint-top of the Premier League and are unbeaten in their eight games, while United – managed by former Blues boss Jose Mourinho – are sitting in eighth.

When is Chelsea vs Manchester United?
Competition: Premier League
Venue: Stamford Bridge
Date: Saturday, 20 October
Kick-off: 12:30 PM BST
Match preview
For the seventh time as Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho gets ready to face off against his former side Chelsea.
Since taking over the Red Devils in 2016, the Portuguse has lost four of the six games against the Blues, two in the Premier League and two in the FA Cup – all coming away from Old Trafford.
But Mourinho will be hoping for something different on Saturday after a poor start to his third season at Old Trafford. United have lost four games already across all competitions, including three in the Premier League, which leaves the 20-time champions currently sitting eighth.
The Red Devils are also out of the Carabao Cup, losing to Championship side Derby County on penalties at Old Trafford.
In contrast, life under Sarri could hardly have started better for Chelsea with their sole defeat coming in the season’s curtain-raiser as they lost the Community Shield final to Manchester City. Otherwise it has been close to perfect for the Blues, winning eight and drawing just twice across all competitions.
Sarri also has star man Eden Hazard in top form, with the Belgian currently leading the Premier League’s goalscoring charts and ready to face the man he has recently admitted he would like to work under once more.
MUSCM in association with @StarFootball will be organising an open, joint screening, for the match against Chelsea.
