What more can be said about Eden Hazard?

Of course, he was bound to appear on this list at some point. He’s by far Chelsea’s most influential player today, and their talisman. The number ten will probe, dribble, and try to trick his way into the United box all through the game, and if given just one chance - he’ll hurt them.

Hazard has shown it times without number that he’s one of those players that can just create something out of nothing, and United will have to be watchful of him throughout the game. United will most likely double up on him, and that will provide Chelsea with an added advantage since that will mean one Chelsea player will not be marked when Hazard has the ball.

If the supporting cast uses that to their advantage, they may just end up winning this game early enough thanks to their number ten. And after a not so great showing against City, Hazard will surely feel like he owes it to the fans to have a great game against United in this FA Cup tie.
