The Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Manchester United

The final fixture of Gameweek 9 sees us pay visit to Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea entertain former manager Jose Mourinho and Man United at 4pm.

The home side have chalked up two straight wins and clean sheets since Antonio Conte switched to a 3-4-3 formation, defeating Hull and Leicester in consecutive Premier League fixtures.

Diego Costa is the Blues’ main threat, having scored or assisted in seven of the Blues’ first eight fixtures.

The Spain international sits just one booking short of a single-match suspension, though it’s worth noting that a caution today would see him sit out the midweek EFL Cup clash with West Ham and free him up to face Southampton in Gameweek 10.

Those who have held onto Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be hoping for signs of a return to form, bearing in mind the Reds then host Burnley next weekend.

The Swede – who is the second most-captained player for Gameweek 9 – has plummeted in price to 11.3 after scoring just one goal in his previous six league outings.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Don't like that if you have just been thrashed 4-0 you should be walking off the pitch not smiling and swapping shirts. At least mourinho's reaction shows he cares about the result.

      Nobody knows. Probably better for the sake of the game.

      If you have kept Ibra (like me), you can might as Well keep for the next to as your season is probably already in the toilet

      To be honest I didn't expect anything this gw. I didn't expect a 4-0 smashing either, but more a 0-0 result.

      I've kept him this gw because of the next 2 fixtures. If he doesn't perform in those 2 then I'll be acting like it's 2015 and not having any United players in my team.
