both injured.

BIG-MATCH FACTS
＊ United are pursuing a fifth straight win in all competitions and fourth
on the spin in the Premier League, however they've not scored more than
a single goal in any game this season.
＊ Sir Alex Ferguson had only registered one win in six Premier League
meetings with Jose Mourinho; the 1-0 victory at Old Trafford on 6
November 2005 in which Darren Fletcher scored, famously ending
Chelsea's 40-match unbeaten League run. (6次聯賽對戰成績 1W 2D 3L)
