Chelsea Can Only Pile More Misery On Man Utd By Using These SIX Tactics on Sunday

1) Eden Hazard v United’s fullback/s

Hazard is on fire right now, with seven goals in his last nine games, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team are having problems at the back.

On Wednesday night Matteo Darmian was given the right back job against Manchester City and was not a spectacular success.

Equally on the left although Luke Shaw is on better form, coping with Hazard at his best would be a problem.

2) Who Chelsea play at centre forward

Gonzalo Higuain scored only his fourth goal since joining the club against Burnley on Monday night, but he has looked ineffective in too many games.

It looks likely though that Maurizio Sarri will go with the Argentine again in a bid to play him into form.

But Olivier Giroud has been knocking in the goals, especially in Europe, as his deputy and he might give Chris Smalling and Phil Jones more of a battle.

3) United’s weak centre

United’s midfield fought hard but lacked creativity against City on Wednesday night.

If Sarri plays Ruben Loftus-Cheek again alongside the pivot that is Jorginho then Fred and co could have a problem with Chelsea running from deep with speed on the counter attack.

Hazard would also be a danger in that respect.

4) Chelsea’s defending of set pieces

David Luiz and Andreas Christensen were poor on Monday night in the face of Burnley’s direct approach at free kicks and corners.

United will surely have noted that – although it is likely that Antonio Rudiger will be back to give the Londoners more physicality, which will help.

But it could be an area for United to exploit.

5) Chelsea‘s full backs vs United’s

Cesar Azpilicueta is as reliable as ever on the right but if Shaw is bombing forward and Marcus Rashford drifts wide the Spaniard could have problems.

If Emerson is on the left Chelsea will have more attacking power but the Brazilian can be careless defensively.

United could profit if Jesse Lingard can get at him.

6) Paul Pogba’s mood

Simple as that. If the French enigma is up for it then Jorginho could have problems, and N’Golo Kante might have to be deputised to sit on the United playmaker, which would blunt Chelsea’s attacking prowess.

If he is not, then Chelsea can play around him.
