2022/23 English Premier League
Matchday 13
Chelsea v Manchester United
Stamford Bridge
London, England
Saturday, 22 October 2022
Kick-off is at 17h30
Chelsea will be looking to continue their impressive start under Graham Potter when Manchester United arrive at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, October 22.
Potter replaced Thomas Tuchel at the helm on September 8 and has guided the Blues to four straight wins in the
Premier League and keeping clean sheets in two of those games.
However, the west Londoners haven't had much success against the Red Devils recently, with their last four league meeting ending in stalemates.
Indeed, their last victory in the top flight came on 5 November 2017 at the Bridge when a solitary goal from Alvaro Morata saw off United.

Mason Mount bagged a brace on Sunday as Potter's side beat Aston Villa 2-0 at Villa Park and the midfielder received praise from his head coach, who also hailed the performance of Kepa in goal.
"I'm obviously delighted with the result because it was a hard-fought game," he said. "Aston Villa made us suffer, certainly in that first half.

"We started off okay then lost our way a little bit in the second half of the first half. We needed Kepa then and he made some fantastic saves. Again Mason's made the difference, but I thought we did better in the second half. It was more stable.
"So I'm delighted with the three points and delighted with the clean sheet and pleased for Mason and Kepa in particular, in that they've managed to help us get over the line."
United have gone two games unbeaten in the league since being hammered 6-3 by neighbours Manchester City and Erik ten Hag registered the first draw of his reign on Sunday with a goalless stalemate against Newcastle.

Ten Hag felt their performance at Old Trafford merited all three points despite Joelinton hitting the woodwork twice in quick succession for the Magpies.
"We are disappointed we didn't win as the performance was good," the Dutchman said. "A clean sheet, we pressed well from the front to the back and we controlled it, I think.
"I thought we were good on the ball in stages, especially the second half. We were a little bit erratic in the first half. You see a physical team as Newcastle, we matched them, at least. In the end, we could have won and we deserved to win."
