No room for complacency will be entertained in the match between the Blues and Red Devils. A lot of doubts have already been answered before the teams embark upon the pitch.
Will Hazard try to sneak through defenders? Undoubtedly.
Will Luke Shaw throw his heart out to prevent Hazard from scoring? Absolutely.
Will any of the two prove to be a knight in the shining armour? Certainly.
Will the fans get a kick out of their un-awaited battle? Definitely.
But there are certain question that can only be answered in due course of time. The most awaited match in Premier League has started the backward countdown, which will feature the agility and swiftness of Hazard against the mercy of Shaw.
Both of them live by the sword and you die by it. Let’s have an analysis.
Luke Shaw
Player of the month, twice, Shaw has been promising as ever with his impressive performances.
The Englishman who was re-called in the English squad after overcoming his subtlety in defence, sliding down strikers and a shoulder for De Gea to trust upon, amidst the fragile defence of United.
The defence will again lie on Shaw and De Gea, for sure. The youngster will have to hold his nerve and trust his instincts while coming up against a rising star.
Shaw will rise up from an injury that took him out of Nations League. Besides recovering, Shaw will have to raise his bars to stop Hazard from scoring goals.
Shaw will have to seize the opportunity with both hands to fight an unstoppable forward.
Eden Hazard
“I am in the form of my life.”
Hazard has accepted his form to be sublime than ever.
The Belgian is on top of premier League goal scoring run, with 7 goals against his name.
In the lieu of his recent performances, Chelsea have an edge over their rivals. Hazard has been boosting pressure with swift play, rushing through the flanks ,sneaking between defenders, and forcing errors.
Manchester United’s already submissive defence can even look worse if the Belgian continues the way he is playing.
There won’t be any room for complacency when Shaw faces finely honed Hazard.
While Hazard will have to play his normal game, Shaw will have to showcase the performance of his lifetime if he wants to assist United with three critical points.
