With a fifth Premier League title within touching distance at Stamford Bridge, the final few games of Antonio Conte’s first season in charge of Chelsea could see their imperious march towards the crown completed with relative ease.
Aside from their slip-up against Crystal Palace recently, the Blues look formidable in their attempts to reclaim the trophy they surrendered so meekly last season, though their upcoming match with Manchester United is by no means an easy task.
Granted, Conte has managed to beat the Red Devils twice already this season, though former Blues boss Jose Mourinho is a master of big games and the rivalry between the two adds an extra layer of spice to what is already one of the biggest games in the English footballing calendar.
Ahead of their trip to Old Trafford, Chelsea fans on Twitter have been lavishing yet more praise on N’Golo Kante. Much has been said and written about the fantastic Frenchman ever since his arrival in England at Leicester City last year and, while goals aren’t really a part of his game, he has scored twice against United this season already.
With that in mind, a portion of the club’s fans on Twitter are backing Kante to keep up his scoring record against Manchester United, with Didier Drogba’s fearsome record against rivals Arsenal in mind.
Here’s a closer look at how fans are gearing up to Sunday’s clash.
