Chelsea looking to end United's perfect start.

Premier League leaders Manchester United welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford this Sunday in what is likely to be United's toughest test of the season so far.

United have started the season brilliantly with Sir Alex Ferguson's men picking up all possible points from their four games thus far, scoring eighteen goals in the process to set a new Premier League record. Their ruthless streak in front of goal has been highlighted by Wayne Rooney's incredible form which has seen the England striker find the back of the net eight times already including consecutive hat-tricks in his last two league outings.

Chelsea, under new boss Andre Villas-Boas, have also started brightly, albeit in less extraordinary circumstances than their counterparts on Sunday, taking ten points from a possible twelve with an opening day draw at Stoke the only blemish on their record. Since that draw at The Britannia Chelsea have gone on to gain four consecutive wins in all competitions and have added Raul Meireles and Juan Mata to their squad as well as highly-rated Belgian youngster Romelu Lukaku. In the absence of Didier Drogba, Villas-Boas now needs to get Fernando Torres back to the form that he showed three years ago when he helped Liverpool to a 4-1 victory over United where he destroyed one of the best centre-backs in the world, Nemaja Vidic.

Vidic, Manchester United's captain, will again miss Sunday as he continues to recover from injury, as does Danny Wellbeck, Tom Cleverley and Brazilian full-back Rafael. Rio Ferdinand, however, may be welcomed back into the team after sitting out Wednesday's draw against Benfica in Portugal. Experienced duo Frank Lampard and John Terry will both come back into the visitor's side after missing the Blues' Champions League victory over Leverkusen on Tuesday.
