Stamford Bridge feels like home for Jose Mourinho, but Sunday will see the Manchester United boss take a seat in the away dugout for the first time in the Premier League.Mourinho is the most successful manager in Chelseas history, but his second spell with the Blues ended in ignominy. The Portuguese coach had lost just one of his first 97 home league games at Chelsea, but tasted defeat four times in his final eight matches during a tortuous run in 2015 that ended in his dismissal.And the now United manager has admitted that hes not lking forward to returning to his old stomping ground after losing that winning edge.When I played there with Inter (Milan), I had never lost a match at Stamford Bridge because I had that home record, said Mourinho, referring to a European game against Chelsea in 2010, which Joses Italian side won 1-0. Now Ive lost a few matches at the Bridge. Last season I lost two or three matches at the Bridge, so I cannot use the same words, because now Ive lost there.I knew that working in England and staying in the Premier League, that sner or later I had to play against Chelsea and go to Stamford Bridge. The computer has decided it is to go now and here we go.Heading into the weekend, Mourinhos United (4-2-2) go into Sundays game two points behind their hosts after a solid yet unspectacular start under their new boss. But the Red Devils should have plenty of confidence after their 4-1 rout of Fenerbahce in the Europa League on Thursday.Chelsea (5-1-2), in contrast, had midweek off, although manager Antonio Conte is not happy about having to lk for positives from his teams lack of European action.I dont want this type of advantage, Conte said. This means you dont play in the Champions League or Europa League. I think Chelsea must play during the week (in) this type of tournament. Chelsea, this season, cant do this. This is not an advantage.Manchester United played (Thursday) and I watched the game. I saw maybe four players who will probably start on Sunday. When you have this possibility to play Champions League or Europa League, you can give the chance also to other players who every day in training work very hard.The Blues will be bsted by the return of captain, leader and legend John Terry, who has shaken off an ankle injury to be fully available for Sundays game. Fellow defenders Kurt Zouma and Branislav Ivanovic are both unavailable due to injury, but Conte will be reticent to rush back his captain into the injury depleted back-line because of a recent successful switch in system.Chelsea have racked up consecutive clean sheets (against Hull City and Leicester City) using a three-at-the-back of Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta either side of sweeper David Luiz. It will be fascinating to see whether Conte sticks with that system, which he has preferred for so much of his career, against an attack of the calibre of Uniteds.And if he does stick with the new shape, then where -- if at all -- does John Terry fit in? Terry lacks the pace to play in either of the wide roles, so David Luiz would presumably have to vacate the central role in which he has lked so assured.Its a selection dilemma without an obvious answer, but it isnt just the defence where Chelsea are short on options with Cesc Fabregas ruled out and Brazilian duo Willian and Oscar both doubts in midfield.Manchester United have concerns over the fitness of Chris Smalling, but Mourinho may be tempted to introduce Michael Carrick for a rare league start after the veteran excelled against Fenerbahce at the base of a midfield that has lacked a positionally-disciplined anchor.Avoid defeat and Chelsea would set a new unbeaten run against United of eight games.The Red Devils have lost more Premier League games (16) against the Stamford Bridge outfit than against any other club. lwholesale.com/wholesale-old-skl-vans.html" target="_blank">Cheap Vans Old Skl Womens .

MINNEAPOLIS -- The day after their worst season in club history, the Minnesota Twins tk a symbolic step forward.The Twins formally announced 33-year-old Cleveland Indians assistant general manager Derek Falvey would be their new executive vice president and chief baseball officer, charged with turning around a team that lost by far the most games (103) in the major leagues.I believe the addition of Derek Falvey to the Minnesota Twins will markedly enhance our organizational excellence and bring championship baseball back to Minnesota, Twins owner and chief executive officer Jim Pohlad said on Monday, in a prepared-yet-ambitious statement distributed by the Twins.Championship baseball has been missing from Minnesota since 1991, and the last time the Twins won a postseason game was 2004. Theyve averaged 94 losses per year since 2011, and this past season was the tipping point for widespread change. Executive vice president and general manager Terry Ryan was fired on July 18, ending his leadership of the baseball operations at 17+ seasons.Falvey reflects an industry-wide trend toward young, analytical, innovative executives, with Theo Epsteins success after being hired as a 28-year-old in 2002 by the Boston Red Sox as the prime example. Epstein is now leading a revamp of the Chicago Cubs, who just piled up the most wins theyve had since 1910.Its a tremendous honor to have the opportunity to lead the Twins baseball operation, Falvey said in a statement in which he vowed to advance the organizations processes and nurture a progressive culture.Falvey joined Clevelands baseball operations in 2007 and rose through the department to third-in-command this season. The former pitcher for NCAA Division III Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, earned a degree in economics in 2005. He will join the Twins after the playoff-bound Indians wrap up their season.Hes kind of a rising star, in my opinion, Cleveland manager Terry Francona said recently. I dont think youre going to talk to anybody around here who doesnt think he is.The Twins have gone young before. Andy MacPhail was hired to lead the baseball operations at age 32 in 1985, and he had a big hand in building the 1987 and 1991 world champions. The Milwaukee Brewers, using the same search firm as the Twins, hired general manager David Stearns a year ago at age 30.The top priority for Falvey mmust be pitching.dddddddddddd The Twins had a 5.08 team ERA, more than a half-run higher than the next-worst team in the American League. Ervin Santana was the only reliable starter. The Twins had a middle-of-the-pack offense, but they lacked consistency with impotent stretches in April and September. They used a franchise-record 49 players.Its not just one arm. Its not just one bat. Its multiples of each, and we have to get better in a lot of areas, second baseman Brian Dozier said.Here are the top takeaways from the 2016 season:FIELDING FLUBSOvershadowed by the futility of the pitching was the continued deterioration of the defense behind it. Once an organization lauded for sound fundamentals, the Twins were charged with a league-most 126 errors, 29 more than the next-closest teams. Miguel Sano had 18 in 80 games in the field.BULL DOZIERDozier, making a mere $3 million this season, became the only Twins player beside Hall of Fame member Harmon Killebrew and the first since 1970 to reach the 40-home run mark. He went deep 42 times and batted a career-best .268 with 99 RBI, despite a 2-for-34 slide over his last eight games and an awful start that had him hitting .202 at the end of May. Dozier also stole 18 bases in 20 tries.HOMER HAPPYThe Twins at least were a more powerful team at the plate this year, hitting 200 home runs for their highest total since 1964 and their third-most in club history. The Twins had 11 players reach the 10-homer mark, matching a major league record shared with Detroit (2004) and Houston (2015).GROWING PAINSSano started the season awkwardly in right field, missed time to hamstring and back injuries and tainted his 25 home runs with a team-high 178 strikeouts in 437 at-bats. Center fielder Byron Buxton struggled badly at the plate until finally finding a grve in September. Right-hander Jose Berrios posted an 8.02 ERA in 14 starts. This trio is the core of the young talent the Twins and their fans had been eagerly awaiting.OFFSEASON SHUFFLECatcher Kurt Suzuki is the only free agent, but roster changes are certain. Dozier could be a trade candidate, a quick way to upgrade the starting pitching. Third baseman Trevor Plouffe, beset by midsection injuries, has had his job taken by Sano. ' ' '
