Manchester United vs Chelsea
Well, yes.
Indeed, it would usually be the perfect storm.
The country’s most successful club, which wants its title back, against the side due to claim its second in three years.
The chance for a spot of revenge for two contrasting football games.
A harsh refereeing decision may have contributed to defeat in the FA Cup with 10 men a month ago.
Yet, the 4-0 reverse Manchester United suffered at Stamford Bridge in October shocked sports betting fans and really sparked Antonio Conte’s side on a run which means all betting odds now pinpoint Chelsea as clear favourites to pick up the top prize.
So all in all, there are plenty to play for both sides.
And that is without even mentioning the Jose Mourinho effect.
So the champions elect can surely expect a tough time at Old Trafford on Easter Day?
Well yes, but given the differing priorities for both clubs, will this be the humdinger some fans expect?
Chelsea have had a week to prepare and are focused on wrapping up the title as quickly as possible.
United have targeted Europe as their main priority and will only arrive back in Manchester a little over 48 hours before this encounter after their energy-sapping Europa League adventure continues.
But then, I think back to last season and last month’s FA Cup tie.
The chants of ‘Judas’ Mourinho had to endure from some of the massed ranks at Stamford Bridge.
All this for simply getting another job after the West London club sacked him, six months after he guided them to the league title.
A penny for the thoughts of Mourinho who could more accurately use that term to describe some of the players he left behind for the way they downed tools when under his management last season.
So yes, it may not be a priority for both clubs but professional pride dictates both sides will want to win this one and enjoy bragging rights.
