This turnaround gave a good boost in the morale of the players, and may even have the effect of a turning point in this bad moment of the team. However, aside from Manchester United having not won at Stamford Bridge since 2012, as they take a look at the team's clinical record, Mourinho sees too many casualties, especially at midfield level. Marcos Rojo and Lingard are confirmed lows, both injured, with players like Alexis Sánchez, Luke Shaw, Fellaini, Ander Herrera, Nemanja Matic and McTominay in doubt.
