Chelsea v Manchester United - Premier League
Chelsea's fortunes rest on Morata and Hazard

Alvaro Morata has quite a good record against Spanish opposition in the Champions League. He was instrumental in Juventus' incredible run to the Champions League final in 2015 scoring both against Real Madrid in the semi-finals and Barcelona in the finals.

Morata will also be extra motivated to do well having played for Barcelona's arch-rivals Real Madrid for a number of years. Eden Hazard, on the other hand, has always shown flashes of his brilliance, without ever becoming the world class player that he can become. Inconsistency has always been his bane, but this is his chance to finally break out.

Can Morata and Hazard inspire Chelsea to a memorable victory?
