In an interview with SportsKeeda, Merson expressed his disappointment with the fixture’s fading importance. “It’s not even a big game, is it? This used to be a mouthwatering fixture,” he remarked. Indeed, the historical rivalry between Chelsea and Manchester United has produced some unforgettable encounters in the past, engaging fans worldwide.

However, Merson’s words comes from the current struggles faced by both teams in the Premier League standings. Chelsea’s recent defeat to Brentford, where they were dismantled by the newly promoted side, and Manchester United’s inability to capitalize on a ten-man Burnley side.
