5 reasons why Manchester United will destroy Chelsea

#1: Chelsea lack desire and confidence

Chelsea have showed a deficiency of desire and confidence in their latest displays

Perhaps, the most crucial point to discuss for today's fixture - Chelsea's lack of desire, coupled with their sloppy form have raised many questions.

Let's take a look at the Champions League game against Roma. Despite conceding twice in the first half, Antonio Conte criticized his players for their lacklustre performance in the next 45 minutes. The Italian gaffer was thoroughly infuriated by Chelsea's diminishing fire to claw back the game.

Where a win would have provided a boost in confidence for the Blues, extra pressure has been piled over Conte's men following the 3-0 loss in Rome. They have also lacked stability in their performances over the recent weeks.

A major reason for their lack of confidence on the pitch is Conte's changing tactics and rotations. For example, let's take a look at Chelsea's defence. The Chelsea boss has been constantly rotating his three-man defence, instead of allowing them time to settle. In turn, the lack of stability is clearly visible, with the Blues having conceded 10 goals, only achieving 4 clean sheets in 10 games this season.

Even in the Premier League, the Blues have been off colour, having lost three times and drawn once. If Chelsea put up a repeat telecast of their mid-week misery at the Bridge, Conte will emerge as the biggest loser following the fixture.
