From the source

Manchester United travel to West London to take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday lunchtime. The Red Devils have faced off against the Blues 199 times, meaning this match will be the 200th competitive game between the two rivals.

United have come out on top 85 times in history, with Chelsea winning 57. There have also been 57 draws during the storied fixture. Here are three storylines to get the blood pumping.

After Michael Carrick’s side lost 0-3 at home to AFC Bournemouth last Sunday, they had officially gone six Premier League matches without a win. This is already the second-longest winless streak in their Premier League history.
