The Blues sit level on points with Manchester City and Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table as they prepare to host the Red Devils
Undefeated Chelsea are involved in a blockbuster match to restart the Premier League season after the international break as Manchester United visit Stamford Bridge.
United are currently trailing behind the rest of the top six as they sit seven points behind Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool, who occupy the top three places in the table.
Many pundits believe that Alexis Sanchez's last minute winner against Newcastle before the international break helped save the job of manager Jose Mourinho, meaning he remains in charge for a return to his old stomping ground.
