United against Chelsea on Sunday.

appeal against a red card.
But Blues manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has said striker Didier Drogba is still
not fit enough to play for 90 minutes.

BIG-MATCH FACTS
＊ Chelsea get a first opportunity to avenge their defeat to Manchester
United in the Champions League final. Victory would see them open up
a nine point advantage over the domestic and European champions in
the Premier League table.
＊ Both clubs had differing fortunes in Europe in midweek; Chelsea equalled
their record home win in the Champions League with a 4-0 eclipse of
Bordeaux, while a much changed United were held to a goalless draw by
Villarreal at Old Trafford in their opening group match.
＊ This is Manchester United's second successive 'Big Four' match-up in the
Premier League, after last Saturday's 2-1 away loss to Liverpool. They
are in danger of suffering successive league defeats for the first time
in 122 outings.
＊ Luiz Felipe Scolari has made a most impressive start as manager of Chelsea
with four wins and one draw from five matches in all competitions; defeat
for United here will equal the Red Devils' worst ever start to a Premier
League season.
＊ United have been beaten more times by Chelsea in the Premier League than
by any other club (10) and have dropped more points to them than any other
team (56).
＊ The Red Devils were the last club to beat Chelsea in a Premier League game
by more than a single goal (23 September 2007); Chelsea were the last club
to beat United by more than a single goal (29 April 2006).
＊ Distance between the clubs: 204 miles (328 kilometres)
CLUB FORM
1. Four points after three matches is twice as many points as were
accumulated at this same stage last season.
2. Only had as few as four points after the first four games of a Premier
League season once before; in the inaugural campaign of 1992-93.
3. No club has scored fewer Premier League goals this season (three).
4. Not lost consecutive Premier League matches since beaten away to Norwich
and Everton on 9 and 20 April 2005 respectively.
5. On the longest current sequence of 27 Premier League matches since they
failed to score; the 1-0 defeat away to Bolton on 24 November 2007 being
the most recent.
6. Also on the longest current run in the highest league of 81 matches since
a loss by more than a single goal; 3-0, away to Chelsea.
7. Not registered a no score draw in 40 top-flight games. Again this is the
longest current such sequence; the goalless stalemate, home to Reading on
the opening day of last season, 12 August 2007, being the most recent.
8. Lost their last two league games against 'Big Four' clubs; away to Chelsea
last season, and away to Liverpool last weekend .
