only)Team NewsMourinho wouldn't elaborate too much on the fitness of Loic Remy, but he did suggest the Frenchman is a possibility to start against United. Speaking on Friday, Mourinho explained Remy's chances were better than 50/50 after he missed the 1-0 victory over QPR with a calf problem. Other than Diego Costa's ongoing hamstring problems, the Blues have no other injury concerns. Also, after they avoided picking up a yellow card last time out, Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic are no longer at risk of a two-game suspension. The FA's disciplinary table has now been reset to zero for the remainder of the season, meaning previous offences and tallies up to now are no longer relevant.
He knows all this very well, which is why he's talking in numbers of points needed and not victories right now. Chelsea need 11 more points to win the title, and the manager is driving that fact home to his players. Whether it's one point or three against United, it matters for little; Chelsea would still be moving forward, reducing their required points tally game by game. We know Mourinho well, and he'll do everything to stop his team from losing this game. That's not to suggest it will be a defensive encounter, but don't expect any gung-ho tactics.
Kirsty Wigglesworth/Associated PressMatic and Fabregas were both on nine bookings for the season. As for Van Gaal's side, a spate of injuries seems to be United's biggest threat against getting a result at Stamford Bridge. Daley Blind (ankle), Michael Carrick (calf), Phil Jones (ankle) and Marcos Rojo (groin) will all miss out on Saturday. Question marks also remain over the fitness of Luke Shaw and Robin van Persie. Van Gaal explained in his news conference that United's depleted squad could mean Wayne Rooney starts in midfield against Chelsea, per The Telegraph. Should that prove the case, Radamel Falcao is expected to lead the United attack.

With just seven games remaining until the end of the season, it's difficult to imagine Chelsea not finishing the campaign as champions. Matt Dunham/Associated PressA victory for United at Stamford Bridge will make things very interesting, however, especially as Chelsea travel to Arsenal the following week and soon after that trip entertain Liverpool. Mourinho's side have been so dominant, but with those around them picking up points more consistently in the past few weeks, they know there's still work to do. And they have some difficult games to negotiate in the process.

Thus far, they have looked free of nerves, so it will be United's task to make Chelsea feel the pressure on home soil. In many ways, Louis van Gaal's side have nothing to fear. Not much is expected of them on Saturday, and as rank outsiders for the title, the pressure is off. Nothing changes if United lose, whereas for Chelsea, it does. Suddenly, the chasing pack would feel within touching distance, which could be dangerous for their frame of mind. The whole complexion of their run-in will change. Jon Super/Associated PressMourinho is a pragmatic manager.

That's not his game and it's not Chelsea's. United know better than that, too. It's going to be cagey, that cliched game of football chess between two master tacticians.
