Match facts

Sporting Lisbon

  • Sporting were held to their fifth 1-1 draw in seven matches this season on Friday against FC Porto as Naby Sarr's own goal cancelled out Jonathan Silva's first strike for the club.
  • Sporting have won their last three home games against English visitors without conceding a goal.
  • Rami Rabia, who joined Sporting in the summer from al-Ahly SC in his native Egypt, is yet to make his debut. He has been sidelined since sustaining an abdominal injury on 30 August.
  • Nani scored three goals in 13 appearances (W4 D4 L5) for Manchester United FC against Chelsea and converted a spot kick in the 2008 UEFA Champions League final in Moscow when United won 6-5 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

Chelsea

  • The 2012 UEFA Champions League winners made it to last season's semi-finals, where they were beaten by Club Atlético de Madrid 3-1 at home after a 0-0 draw away.
  • José Mourinho worked at Sporting as assistant to coach Sir Bobby Robson for one and a half seasons between 1992 and 1993.
  • Diego Costa started his European career at FC Penafiel, on loan from SC Braga in 2006/07. He then played seven games in the Portuguese Liga for Braga before moving to Spain.
  • Costa has scored eight goals in six league outings following his summer switch from Atlético.

Predictions

Both of these sides would have hoped to have three points on the board by now but drew their opening matches in the group so will be more determined to get a result in this one.

Sporting came through a tough match at the weekend against Porto, while Chelsea were comfortable victors over Aston Villa, but the Portuguese have home advantage and will want to at least get a point on Tuesday.

That may have been a result that Mourinho would have settled for back in his homeland had Chelsea beaten Schalke a fortnight ago but the Blues should work hard for all three this time out.

Final Score – 1 : 2

Next season 2015/16 Manchester United is going to take tha FA Cup, EPL Champion, Capital One Cup and Champions League under LvG... No team can beat MU in the next 2yrs bcz it is going to be very solid, even R.Madrid and Barca. MARK MY WORDS ! After 3 years of LvG, the undespicable Ryan Giggs steps in...the new SAF... You all will hate but thats how its gonna be, whether you like or not ! You all are afraid bcz you already imagined the situation, Yeah ! So long suckers...

United is too inconsistent to win it all, just like Liverpool.

@Argjent: Yeah, I think we should first qualify for the champions league and then compete for those titles. Still MU is poor in defence. You cannot play CL with Smalling, Evans or Jones (atleast Rafael, Rojo and Blind are convincing), but I am with @Romario that MU will be very solid after 2 years...

maybe next season when they buy a world class CB like Hummels, Otemendi or something and a World Class CM probably VIDAL , we might see a strong MAN UNiTED but not with current squad man.

Yeah Man.Utd bought amazing players like Falcao & Di Maria,they need just some time to get in top form.And with Rooney & Van Persie in attack,Midfield looks good,Man.Utd should buy just some defenders and to be a super team again.This season MU has to fight for a place for Champions League & i think maybe next season will be a great season for MU!

We gotta win this ! I am pretty sure Schalke are going to blow Maribor away and will have 4 points. We don't want to have both Sporting Lisbon & Schalke on 4 points and us on a measely one point. This is not only going to hamper our chance of finishing top but our chance of qualification. I hear Jose Mourinho is willing to risk Costa.
