Manchester United vs Chelsea analysis
In another year, both United and Chelsea would be feeling pretty good about their point tallies in the 50s by the end of January.
Last season that would have had them snapping right on the heels of league leaders.
But with Man City storming away at the top of the table, this game on February 25 is more likely to be about ensuring Champions League football next season, with Tottenham and Arsenal looking to knock United, Chelsea and Liverpool out of the top four.

It’s likely Jose Mourinho will be feeling better about the clash now that he’s snagged Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal, who joins up with one of the most formidable attacking line-ups in the league.
Chelsea, on the other hand, might exit January with a less-than-stellar signing after they’ve spent the winter window being linked with the likes of Andy Carroll, Edin Dzeko and, er, Peter Crouch.
Whether United’s big-spending approach pays dividends come match-day remains to be seen.
