MATCH PREVIEW :
So on the tenth day of this new Premier League season comes the first big match- the first coming together of two of last season's top four.
And of course the firsts also keep coming for Manchester United's new manager David Moyes - this is his bow with his new club at Old Trafford in the league. And as he himself pointed out, he was not doing any favors when the fixture computer served up Jose Mourinho's new Chelsea as his team's opponents.
Jose Mourinho has been down a similar path. Nine years ago to the month, in his first coming as the Chelsea manager, his first competitive match in charge was against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea won on that day with a first-half goal from Eidur Gudjohnsen against a United team which included Eric Djemba-Djemba, Quinton Fortune and Liam Miller in the starting line up. Nine months later, Chelsea were champions of England for the first time in fifty years.
And who will be Jose Mourinho's choice for Chelsea up front? Fernando Torres sat out their league game against Aston Villa last Wednesday, but he's not started either of their two matches against Manchester United at Old Trafford since perpetrating the most glaring of misses in front of the Stretford End when Andre Villas Boas' Chelsea were beaten 3-1 almost two years ago.
