SW6 is the venue for a Premier League fixture of epic proportions this Sunday afternoon.
Any fixture between Chelsea and Manchester United has that certain special feel about it, but when it sees Antonio Conte go head-to-head with Jose Mourinho there`s that extra certain something about it.
Ahead of the fixture, we`ve cobbled together some early team-news for you to peruse.
Starting with Chelsea:
The Stamford Bridge support will be hoping that the midfield dynamo that is N`Golo Kante will be fit to return. Since picking up a hamstring injury the Chelsea midfield hasn`t looked anywhere near as effective.
Definitely not in contention is Victor Moses who is still recovering from his hamstring injury.
The Chelsea captain, Garry Cahill, is expected to return to the heart of the defence after missing the away fixture at Bournemouth last weekend.
Continuing with Manchester United:
Mourinho has several of his first-team squad side-lined with long-term injuries including Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and Marcos Rojo.
Another absentee, this weekend, will be Jesse Lingard, with the player having picked up a back injury during the midweek win, over Benfica, in the Champions League.
On a positive note, for Manchester United, Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young are expected to return to the starting eleven after being rested in midweek.
