Chelsea are set to host Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, October 22, in the first Premier League 2022-23 encounter between the two sides. This will be the first time Graham Potter will be at Old Trafford as the Blues’ manager. United will be eager to conquer the Blues after having already defeated Liverpool, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur.

While Chelsea are coming off a draw against Brentford, United will take to the field after dominating Tottenham at Old Trafford in a match that ended 2-0 in their favour. After Cristiano Ronaldo’s walk-off during the match, United have now announced that he will not feature in the team that will take on Chelsea on Saturday. Here are some interesting records to watch out for in the match:
