The match is going to mark Mohrinho's first return to his most successful club in Premier League as a rival Coach and this will ignite some respect for the United boss though some of the players will have one or two reasons to prove Mohrinho's philosophies wrong, but any ways its going to be a great game.

Conte says the United Boss deserves some respect because of his name on the history of the Club. Here is from the United Boss

Jose Mourinho: "I don't have to analyse [Chelsea's] start to the season but, when you look at the table and you see where they are, in the middle positions, it cannot be bad.

"I knew that working in England, staying in the Premier League, I would, sooner or later, have to play against Chelsea and I would have to go to Stamford Bridge. The computer has decided that I have to go now, so we go."

Antonio Conte: "I want to see progress on Sunday compared with the Liverpool and Arsenal games and I am confident I will.
"It will be a tactical game on Sunday but the fans have a big part to play and can be an advantage.

"I have great respect for [Jose] Mourinho. He deserves a good reception. He was an important man for Chelsea and wrote part of the club's story."
