Evening everyone and welcome to the clash of the ex-titans. It’s 8.15, in the immortal words of OMD, and that’s the time that it’s always been. Back in December Manchester United played Chelsea at 8.15 on a Wednesday night at Old Trafford. They produced one of their more joined-up performances and won 2-1. Can they do it again on a soggy Thursday at Stamford Bridge?
The answer to that is another question: who knows? Both these teams have spent the whole season being consistently inconsistent. Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea can beat Newcastle, in some style, and then fail to dispatch Burnley. They can lose at home to Forest and Brentford, while taking a point off Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City (twice).
