      *Van Persie never scored against Mourinho’s Chelsea in 294 minutes of football
      *Van Persie has lost 42 per cent of the games he has featured in against Chelsea
      *Van Persie has never been on the winning side in six games against Jose Mourinho, losing three and drawing three
      *Van Persie is currently on a 224 minute drought against Chelsea which makes you think he is probably due one

      What would be disappointing tonight:

      1. Utd or Chelsea CS
      2. RvP goals or assists
      3. Hazard not starting
      4. Lukaku starting and getting amongst the points
      5. Ivanovic starting and getting amongst the points

      What would be fine:

      1. Hazard getting 15pts+ to win my H2H 😮

      I think it's going to be a long night.

      Gents,

      I'm looking at a 6m midfielder for week 4 onwards.

      The 2 im looking at are Hernandez at Swansea or Taarabt, unless someone else emerges.

      I haven't see a Swans or Fulham game yet this season so am not overly sure. Fulham have the better fixtures but does Taarabt flatter to deceive.

      Any thoughts?
