24th August - The day for Moyes and Mourinho

Both Chelsea and united kick off their next season against minnows, Moyes starts with an away game against Swansea on 17-18th august and " the happy one " begins his second leg against Hull city at home which is a good omen for Mourinho since Chelsea started of there 2009 season against the same opponents on the opening day of the season and went on to win the league.







     But the day is 24th august for both Mourinho and Moyes because David Moyes will be on the sidelines of the Old Trafford for the first time and would try to succeed the SAF era,  while Mourinho has been paired against the current champions for his first  away game for the blues. One thing is for sure nerves are going to run high on both ends of pitch and probably that is the reason EPl is termed as the best league on the planet because the fixtures do tend to create a buzz.

   This was the first headline that emerged from the EPL fixtures with many more to come. It is being considered a tough opening game for Moyes given the emotions and expectations overcoming Chelsea will be an up hill climb. Coincidentally things are also not so easy for Mourinho with his first three away games being against United, Everton and Tottenham hot spurs.

    United defender- Rio Ferdinand labelled it a "lively start" on twitter but this particular game is set to intrigue immense interest and fuzz is going to be there regarding pre-match mind games from both united and Chelsea.
