Chelsea now have the opportunity to do something tomorrow against Manchester United that they haven’t achieved in more than 10 years.
The Blues travel up north to take on Erik ten Hag’s side, with both teams likely believing they are underachieving in all competitions this season.
While the Red Devils are ahead of the Blues in the league, their Champions League shortcomings have only added to the negative feeling around the Old Trafford faithful.
Off the back of a return to winning ways against Brighton, Chelsea will now be looking to pile more misery on their opponents tomorrow.
As far as the Blues are concerned, they have an opportunity tomorrow to put something right that they feel should have happened a long time ago.
It has been more than 10 years now since they recorded a victory at Old Trafford, where tomorrow’s fixture will take place.
Chelsea could break 10-year record vs Manchester United
There have been a number of examples in that period of time where they should have put that record to rest, although they were heavily beaten there late last season.
Mauricio Pochettino will likely feel confident some of his top players will turn up for the game after they have shown some of their best football in the big games this season.
Their last battle against a side from Manchester saw them bring out one of their best performances in the last 18 months, although it didn’t end up in a win at Stamford Bridge.
However, performances against the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham will fill supporters with confidence that they can pull a result out tomorrow night and continue to climb up the Premier League table.
