Manchester United and Chelsea have both had rocky starts to the new Premier League season, winning two of their opening matches.
Man United beat Chelsea 2-1 last Saturday to secure Ruben Amorim’s second win of the new Premier League season.
Amorim has been on the hot seat at Man United, but the win over Chelsea gifted the Portuguese head coach some time to turn things around.
Meanwhile, Enzo Maresca is under criticism at Chelsea himself as dressing room tensions rise following their recent blip in form.

One of the major hurdles Maresca has had to overcome this season is Chelsea’s lack of striker options, despite their huge squad.
An injury to Liam Delap and the departure of Nicolas Jackson has left the Blues light upfront, but Gazzetta dello Sport have reported they may be handed a lifeline to that problem.

The Italian newspaper has reported that Chelsea and Man United are both interested in a move for Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic.
The Serbian is out of contract in the summer, although Juventus want to sell the 25-year-old, so it is likely Chelsea or Man United could afford Vlahovic for a cut price in January.
Vlahovic is a tall and powerful number nine who would provide both Chelsea and United with a similar profile to their current first-choice striker options.
