#2 Jorginho

Italian midfielder Jorginho is one player that is quite crucial to how Sarri’s Chelsea play, and by that account, he’s proving undroppable. He kind of puts out exactly what Sarri envisions in the field of play, and that’s why even the magnificent N’Golo Kante had to be pushed forward to accommodate him in the team.

Against a United side that has been playing with pace and counter attacks, the Italian will even be more crucial since he will be tasked with trying to break down most United attacks. He will also be the one tasked with starting most of Chelsea’s attacks, and knitting how they play.

If he can come alive and dictate the game in the manner that made Chelsea buy him from Napoli, Manchester United will have a lot to contend with.

The Italian has great vision, is technically capable, and his use of the ball is quite a thing of joy at times. He will make sure that United don’t have space in the midfield to do much damage to his team. Jorginho goes around his business quietly - United will have to be watchful of him.
