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

          Problem is they actually look nothing alike at all, and their ONLY similar feature is the color of their skin.

          It was a racist comment plain and simple. Not to mention totally unnecessary.

              Rested for midweek. With Blind's performances it may be that Shaw predominately plays in the Europa and league/FA cups.

                  Don't get me wrong Shaw may start playing the EPL games again soon but him playing the midweek games is a possibility.
