Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that his players will be heading into this Sunday's clash against Manchester United with all three points in mind.

The Blues travel to Old Trafford 10 points ahead of Louis van Gaal's side at the top of the Premier League table following an eight-match unbeaten run.

"We go to every match to win, but sometimes games go in one direction where in pragmatic way you feel one point because good result," Mourinho told reporters. "Sunday we go to win.

"If you give me now one point without me going I won't accept that. I want to fight for three points, but sometimes during a game a point is a positive result.

"Last year at certain moment of game in such a direction, such stability that was very difficult for both teams to win and both accepted the point as a normal result, but I don't think, in this moment, that from first minute, we won't go for a point. Maybe think differently in 90th minute but before it starts we are going to win."

Chelsea have won seven of their eight matches, while United have clinched just three victories.
