MarkM Clattenburg will take charge of Sunday's match between Chelsea and Man Utd |
October 28th 2012 KO--17:00GMT
Venue: Stamford Bridge
Since the inception of the BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE in 1992, few venues have not really been an easy hunting ground for Britain's most successful team MANCHESTER UNITED.
On sunday the 28th of October 2012, United will travel to one of such stadium where they trade tackles with the current European champions Chelsea, a match that could prove pivotal in this year's title race.
Having won the league a record 5 times since 2002,they have found Stamford bridge to be an imposing citadel tho' they defeated Chelsea there in the Champions league last year April, they have failed to win in the last nine(9) league visits to Chelsea with there last taste of victory coming in April of 2002.
Between March 2004-October 2008, Chelsea played 86 league matches at home without defeat, with liverpool ending the record breaking sequence with a 1-0 victory courtesy Xabi Alonso's strike. United's striker Wayne Rooney, a player with an overflowing trophy cabinet has never won a league game at the Bridge.
United certainly has a very terrible record when it comes to trip to Stamford Bridge, its been problematic over the decade especially when you compare with their away results against the other teams currently residing in the top half of the table..
The question is will this be the season Rooney finally end his search for a league win at Stamford Bridge, with RVP and Roo working well in tandem, United has the firepower to worry a Chelsea defense that will be without suspended skipper John Terry, but Sir Alex Ferguson's side has been uncharacteristically sloppy at the back this season conceding first in 8 of its 12 matches, we dont have long to wait to find out.
