Chelsea takes on United in a highly entertaining encounter as all eyes would be on the strategy put in place by both managers.
Both sides would be expected to put in a descent shift in this match as goals is expected due to the quality we are expecting to see from both sides.
With result needed by both sides more like Chelsea who are just tone point above Tottenham Hotspur in the race for top four, top performance is expected from the players of both sides.
On this note, we evaluate the key players to watch as the case may be ahead of this fixture.
Mason Mount (Chelsea)
The English lad would be exceptional as we expect a lot from the match. He’s flourished for the Blues as he’s enjoyed the backing of his manager Frank Lampard.
This would see him affirm his attacking ability as they face Manchester United at home.
He will be entrusted with the mandate to lead the attack (free role behind Tammy) along with Willian and Callum Hudson-Odoi as they eye United’s goal with sole aim for the three maximum points at stake to say the least.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Manchester United)
The Manchester United right back had been exceptional this season contributing assist and waning in wonderful attacking performance on the right side for the club.
This would be helpful as United attack Chelsea in numbers as they are widely renowned for. He was instrumental as they defeated Chelsea 4-0 at Old Trafford in the season opener in August.
So we expect a superlative performance from the young lad against Chelsea while he’s expected to defend to curtail Chelsea’s attacking threat in transition.
Willian Borges (Chelsea)
Manchester United should be wary of this player even as they’ve attempted to sign him in the past. Willian’s presence in this fixture is a positive one for Frank Lampard and his aspirations ahead of the game.
He was absence in the first meeting where Chelsea lost 4-0 to Manchester United and the Blues felt his absence.
His experience and the motivation he brings is good for the team confidence as well as the dressing room euphoria as they set their eyes solely on the big game against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side at home.
Nemanja Matic (Manchester United)
The Serbian midfield player would aim to influence the game from the midfield region but he must do better than Jorginho and N’golo Kante on the Chelsea side.
His goal against Manchester city was a well-taken strike as this would inspire confidence in his bowl for him to flourish in this contest.
His experience and strength on the ball would be an advantage for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men. While his intelligence and ability to make run and create space from the midfield can aid United course in the contest as they do battle against host Chelsea.
