Antonio Conte's side host Manchester United on Sunday (4.30pm) where the two talismanic strikers will go head-to-head.

Former Blue Lukaku has scored 11 goals for United this term.

Whereas Morata has scored seven since making the £60million move from Real Madrid.

Chelsea only moved for Morata in the summer after United beat them to Lukaku’s signature.

But which player would the ex-Barcelona star rather see leading the Chelsea line this weekend?

They are both great, but I go with my heart and say Morata.

"They're head to head, but they're completely different players,” he told Sky Sports.

"Lukaku is more physical, Morata has more movement in him. 

“They are both great, but I go with my heart and say Morata."

Jose Mourinho is also in the spotlight as he returns  to the side which he won three Premier League titles with in two spells.

And Gudjohnsen reckons that factor will make the game even more exciting.

"It's always a special thing when Jose comes back to the Bridge and it will be two big teams with a lot of quality on display, but there's big pressure on this game,” Gudjohnsen said.

"With Manchester City looking so strong a draw helps nobody, they don't want to lose any points on the leader.

"To stay in contention those two both have to win."
