Its a big one between United and Chelsea Its a big one between United and Chelsea

Hello and welcome to our coverage of the big game between Manchester United and Chelsea.

Frank Lampard begins his Chelsea managerial career against Solskjaer’s Manchester United and will hope to start on a positive note.

A transfer ban prevented him from making new signings in the transfer window but he’s got an army of young talented players to rely on to steer him into glory this season.

Pulisic who joined from Dortmund has starred in pre-season games and in the absence of Eden Hazard, all eyes will be on the American to get the goals for the Blue this season.

Manchester United made three new signings with Harry Maguire arriving on a world-record fee for defenders and will mark his first United game this afternoon.

Paul Pogba is still a Manchester United player and has been handed a starting berth this afternoon alongside new arrival Wan-Bissaka.

Manchester United have won just two of their last 13 Premier League meetings with Chelsea (W2 D6 L5) but are unbeaten in six home games against them in the competition (W2 D4 L0).
