Chelsea vs Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, on Fox Soccer Channel, Sunday at 9 a.m. ET.

Chelsea may have been beaten to the Premier League title by two points and denied Champions League glory by a missed penalty kick - both times by Manchester United.

Yet new Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari says his team will not be driven by revenge when the two sides meet Sunday at Stamford Bridge. He hasn’t even watched tapes of last season’s matches.

“No. No. No. I have videos of Manchester United in this season’s Champions League, and of their last two games in the Premier League,” Scolari said Friday. “Now is different to what happened in May. Now is important and they have a fantastic group. They have 25 or 26 fantastic players, and they’re in a better condition now than at the start of the season.”

United manager Alex Ferguson begs to differ…”I just want my team to put the ball into the net,” Ferguson said. “We are simply not scoring enough goals.”
