Both teams lost last weekend, two very different problems. United are picking up the pieces of a 0-3 home defeat to Bournemouth: 16th place, one win in eight league games, a coach kept on while the press already names his successors. Chelsea, fifth, have absentees to manage and nothing else.<\/p>\n

At United, the crisis precedes the match<\/h2>\n

Carrick remains in post for the trip to Stamford Bridge, as the BBC confirmed on Tuesday<\/a>, while the press reports crisis meetings and names Howe and Nagelsmann as possible successors. On the pitch, the 0-3 against Bournemouth was a sixth defeat in twelve matches; United sit one point above the relegation zone. Bruno Fernandes has lived the week differently: benched against Bournemouth after his criticism, then a clear-the-air talk with his coach.<\/p>\n

At Chelsea, the absentees arrive at the worst time<\/h2>\n

Chelsea also lost, 0-2 to Tottenham<\/a>: an own goal from Penders, then, down to ten after Palmer’s red card, Tel’s goal. Alonso has to rebuild an attack without his two most creative players, and the rotation starts on Wednesday evening at Anfield, in the Carabao Cup: the coach is already thinking about United’s visit on Saturday<\/a>.<\/p>\n
