Fernando Torres will not end his goal drought for Chelsea against Manchester United on Sunday, according to Javier Hernandez.
The Spanish hitman has not scored a Premier League goal since the reverse fixture between the Blues and United back in September at Old Trafford, a game in which he also missed a number of glorious opportunities.
While Torres has looked bright and lively at times since that meeting, he cannot buy a goal, and Hernandez claims that he will not net against United this weekend.
"Fernando Torres is one of the best forwards in Europe, without doubt," Hernandez told the Daily Star.
"But he suffers a bad record in front of goal and I predict that the Spaniard will not score against United this Sunday either."
United have won on their last two visits to Stamford Bridge and Hernandez believes it is vital that they secure another three points in their quest to overall Manchester City.
"Every little slip will have an effect on the title race at the moment so this match against Chelsea is very important," he added.
"Winning in London is vital. Chelsea are always dangerous and they will raise their game."
