Chelsea vs United is on right now at Stamford Bridge - stick with the whole match or just check the score later?
Kickoff was 8:30am ET at Stamford Bridge and it is on right now. Chelsea are 5th on 13 points, United are 16th on 7 and winless in eight games, with no away win all season. Palmer is back from suspension for Chelsea and Fernandes is back for United, and both teams lost badly last weekend. I am torn between watching the full 90 on a Saturday morning or getting on with Halloween prep and just checking the score later. Is this one actually worth the full watch, or is it going to be another cagey game where both teams are too scared to lose?

- Watch it, both managers are genuinely under pressure
Watch it, and the numbers are why. Chelsea have 13 points from 8 games while United have 7, United are winless in eight and have no away win all season, and Chelsea concede 1.88 goals per game with just one clean sheet. That combination means either a manager melts down on live TV or somebody finally gets a result. A normal mid-table game would not be worth a Saturday morning; this one has stakes on both sides.
