Chelsea travel to Old Trafford on Sunday, looking to get one over their rivals and the Blues defender Branislav Ivanovic is confident his side can get a result against United.

Last season’s 2:1 defeat at Old Trafford saw Chelsea effectively ruled out of the title race, but Ivanovic expects a completely different game now.

“Yeah, last season was a different situation because we had to win there,” said Ivanovic.

“When you play a big game away and you have to win, psychologically it’s completely different. Now we are going there to show our best football and try to get our best result.”

Some believe that Chelsea could be satisfied with one point from this clash, but the Serbian defender doesn’t agree.

“It depends how the game is going but we’re always looking every game to try to win.

“And we’re looking to win on Sunday. But, of course, we have strong opponents and we will see what happens.”

Manchester United are seen as odds-on favourites by Paddy Power, with the Irish bookmaker paying 1.85 (17/20) on home win, whereas Chelsea are 4.60 (18/5) with Betfair to win at Old Trafford.
