5 Reasons why Chelsea could destroy Manchester City today

Manchester City v Chelsea - Premier League
Will Conte be smiling at the end of the game today?

#3. Eden Hazard is back to full fitness... and has linked up well with Alvaro Morata

Atletico Madrid v Chelsea FC - UEFA Champions League
*****

When he is fully fit, there is no one in the Premier League quite like Eden Hazard. Fast, slippery as an eel, with ball control that few in the world possess and vision to match Hazard can win entire games all by his lonesome.

Yet to have started a Premier League till now, Hazard will start this one with a point to prove - and with Conte determined to make the most of the Belgian's "God-Given Talent" the Belgian will take some stopping; and this could be the game he chooses to announce that he's back to his best.

Complimenting him up-top is Alvaro Morata - the polar opposite of Hazard's previous partner-in-crime Diego Costa. Where the Brazilian-born naturalised Spaniard was abrasive, in-your-face and always in the thick of things, Morata is subtle, quiet and fades in-and-out of games, slinking into the shadows waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

Joint top goal-scorer in the League, he has connected well with Hazard in the brief time they've played together - the goal against Atletico a perfect example - and the two will be keen to showcase their burgeoning partnership at the highest level.
