And he’s here for revenge in the form of a goalless draw.
Or maybe not. It’s possible Mourinho’s Manchester United team won’t be as risk-averse at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea they were at Anfield on Monday in the goalless draw against Liverpool.
Surely the prospect of beating the club that sacked him last December will be too much for Mourinho to pass up?
However, the recent fixture of the history doesn’t bode well for a United win.
Chelsea are unbeaten against United in their last 10 league and cup games, and have only lost once, back in October 2012, against United in the league at Stamford Bridge in the past 14 years.
The only previous time Mourinho managed a team against Antonio Conte was in December 2009 when Inter Milan and Atalanta played out a 1-1 draw. It wouldn’t be surprise to see a similar result today.
Here’s how the home side line-out:
Chelsea team today: Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill (c); Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Pedro, Diego Costa, Hazard. #CFC

And here’s the United team. The team’s captain Wayne Rooney didn’t make the trip to London after suffering a slight injury in training.
