Summary:

Chelsea looked really impressive blowing out Leicester City 3-0 albeit they are not the same team as a year ago.  Manchester United sat back at defended their way to a 0-0 draw against Liverpool.  Manchester United would likely be content with another draw on the road versus Chelsea so look for them to have a defensive minded starting XI.  I see this as a probable 0-0 draw with the potential for Manchester United to steal one with an opportunistic chance.
