Chelsea face Manchester United in 200th meeting Saturday

Chelsea host Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Saturday in a Premier League meeting that marks the 200th time the clubs have faced each other in all competitions. Chelsea are fifth in the table, two points behind fourth-placed Liverpool.

Only Arsenal and Liverpool have previously reached that 200-meeting mark against Chelsea.

Manchester United are 16th with seven points from eight games, including one win, four draws and three defeats. The Red Devils are winless in eight consecutive matches across all competitions.

United have suffered heavy defeats in their past two matches, losing 4-1 to Como and 3-0 to Bournemouth. They have not won away since the last day of last season.

Chelsea are unbeaten in their past 11 Saturday lunchtime Premier League matches, winning nine and drawing two.

In all competitions, Chelsea have won 56, drawn 61 and lost 82 of the 199 previous meetings. United's 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge in April was their most recent victory over Chelsea.

Matches involving Chelsea have produced more goals after eight matchweeks than those of any other Premier League team, with 32 scored and conceded combined, 17 scored and 15 conceded.

Peter Bankes will referee, his first Blues game since Chelsea's 4-2 FA Cup win at Wrexham in March.
