But he can’t get a regular place in a Manchester United side making their worst ever start to a Premier League season.

All very odd.

Jose Mourinho’s misfiring men take a trip to Chelsea who are moving the other way and out-performing predictions.

Mourinho won’t want to get a beating in his old backyard and it won’t be a major shock to see him park the bus at Stamford Bridge.

Unfortunately for him Eden Hazard is playing well enough to dance his way through a whole fleet of them.

So it’s Chelsea to get a little West London double started with Fulham fancied to land the odds on their visit to Cardiff.

The Cottagers are having a crack at life in the top league while Cardiff are falling back on a more prosaic bid for survival.

Fulham won this fixture last season and I can see a similar result at decent odds this time around.

The Chelsea and Fulham double pays 3/1 which looks a nice way to get back on the winning track after West Ham let us down last time.

I nearly got through a column without mentioning them.
