Chelsea V Man U
Manchester United face their second match in a week against one of their main rivals for the Premier League title when they visit Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Defeat for Sir Alex Ferguson's side, following last weekend's 2-1 loss at Liverpool, would leave United nine points behind Chelsea although they do have a game in hand.
However, it has not been the start Ferguson would have hoped for with a 1-0 victory at Portsmouth their only three-point haul of the campaign so far.
The veteran Scottish manager's mood has not been helped in the build-up to the match with the news that John Terry is available to play after the FA overturned the England captain's red card from last weekend's win at Manchester City.
Ferguson could now be in hot water with the FA himself after saying: "I understand referees' chief Keith Hackett told ref Mark Halsey to rescind the card and he wouldn't.
"I do not understand how this has happened. If it had been a Manchester United player, Hackett would not have done this." Cristiano Ronaldo could make his first start for United since the Champions League Final in May after coming on as a substitute in the midweek goalless draw against Villarreal, but Nemanja Vidic is suspended after being sent off at Anfield.
Michael Carrick is unlikely to play again until the end of October after breaking a bone in his foot last weekend, while Chelsea's only absentee is Michael Essien whose cruciate knee ligament injury is expected to keep him out of action for most of the season.
Didier Drogba and Michael Ballack could also feature in Scolari's plans after recovering from recent injuries to boost a side that has been in excellent form so far this season.
Premier League victories against Portsmouth, Wigan Athletic and Manchester City and a draw with Tottenham have left the Blues at the top of the table and they strolled to a 4-0 victory over Bordeaux in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Five months ago at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea ensured the Premier League title race would go to the wire when a Ballack brace helped Avram Grant's side secure a 2-1 victory against United.

Fit-again Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo is unlikely to start Sunday's Premier League showdown with Chelsea despite returning to action against Villarreal.
The Portugal international came off the bench in Wednesday's goalless draw with the Spanish side after missing the opening weeks of the season following ankle surgery.
CRISTIANO RONALDO
Ronaldo was given a standing ovation despite his dalliance with Real Madrid throughout the summer and Ferguson was delighted by the response of the Old Trafford crowd.
"We expected Cristiano to get a great reception," he said.
"He knows the supporters have always been behind him. He has given us great moments and scored some fantastic goals.
"Maybe he was a bit apprehensive but he shows great loyalty and commitment every time he puts that jersey on."
However, the veteran Scot is unlikely to pitch last season's 42-goal top-scorer into the starting line-up for the trip to Stamford Bridge.
The Red Devils are currently six points off the pace set by Chelsea after a slow start to the new campaign.
"That was his first game back so it is a big ask to think about Sunday," he continued.
"To come back like that, without a practice match or anything, the boy has done very well."
Meanwhile, Ferguson also suggested that new £30million striker Dimitar Berbatov will be fit to face Chelsea despite missing the midweek Champions League game with a knee problem.

Chelsea 1-1 Burnley
haha fair share. lol.
Championship side Burnley stunned Premier League leaders Chelsea after a dramatic penalty shoot-out at Stamford Bridge in the Carling Cup fourth round.
Burnley keeper Brian Jensen was the hero after he dived full-stretch to divert Jon Mikel Obi's decisive penalty to safety.
Didier Drogba had given Chelsea a first-half lead with a sumptuous finish from a Frank Lampard pass.
But a spirited second-half from Burnley saw Ade Akinbiyi sweep in an equaliser.
Chelsea made six changes to the side that defeated Blackburn 2-0 at the weekend, with striker Drogba recalled to the starting line-up after overcoming his recent injury problems.
But it was Burnley who started brightly, and forced Chelsea onto the counter-attack in the early stages, with Chris Eagles and Joey Gudjonsson looking the most likely to break the Blues' rearguard.
The home side soon managed to exert their influence on the game and a foul on Drogba gave Alex the chance to unleash a piledriver 25 yards out from goal.
The Brazilian defender scuffed his shot but Wayne Bridge came close with the follow-up, sending the ball just wide of goalkeeper Jensen's post.
Burnley were lucky to get away with a handball by the Danish keeper who appeared to use his gloves just outside the area while trying to prevent a Drogba shot.
Defender Juliano Belletti was substituted for Frank Lampard after picking up a knock, and the England midfielder's immediate impact was emphatic, as he played in Drogba with an exquisite pass.
The former Marseille striker left two defenders in his wake before an accomplished finish gave his side the lead and left Jensen with no chance.
It was Drogba's first goal for Chelsea since the Champions League semi-final against Liverpool in April, and the first goal Burnley have conceded in this season's competition.
Malouda nearly doubled Chelsea's advantage after being played in by Kalou, but his shot was pushed away by Jensen.
The French winger then set up Branislav Ivanovic from a free-kick, but the Serbia international's header hit the crossbar and was cleared.
The 6,000 travelling fans were making a lot of noise at Stamford Bridge and were bouyed in the second-half when a nervous-looking Carlo Cudicini struggled to claim a corner, but the danger was cleared.
The Premier League leaders were struggling to exert their dominance on the game amid a spirited Burnley fightback, and appeared happy to slow the game down whenever they reclaimed possession.
Jensen was Burnley's match-winner on a dramatic evening
Burnley's impressive second-half performance then got the equaliser it merited. Winger Chris Eagles was put through on goal and when Cudicini blocked the loose ball, Akinbiyi swept up to equalise and send the Burnley fans wild. Both teams were smelling victory and the game became stretched as the two sets of players searched for a late winner.
Young Argentinian striker Franco Di Santo almost claimed it in the closing stages of normal time but could only direct his shot narrowly wide of Jensen's post.
Lampard did have the ball in the back of the net in the first period of extra-time after Kalou put him through, but the England man was adjudged to be offside.
A foul on Malouda late-on saw Burnley captain Steven Caldwell receive his second booking, while both Alex and Kalou missed guilt-edged chances to win the game in the closing stages.
The sudden-death defeat means that the Blues have now lost their last five penalty shoot-outs.
