5 things Chelsea needs to do in order to beat Manchester United

#4 Prepare a strategy if Eden Hazard were to be man-marked

Hazard is Chelsea's most potent attacking threat

Eden Hazard is the most crucial element of this Chelsea attack and Mourinho has exploited this over dependence on the Belgian in the past. He gave man-marking assignments on the Blues' talisman in their last two visits to Old Trafford and it paid dividends.

Both teams desire the win on Saturday and Mourinho would not hesitate to use this negative tactic to smother Chelsea.

Conte must devise a strategy for this situation. His side definitely look toothless in attack without Hazard's input and he will have to come up with a way to counter it.

Fabregas could be given an advanced role or the formation could be tweaked otherwise to ramp up Chelsea's attack. One thing is for sure, Conte will need to keep a backup plan ready if Hazard were to be indeed man-marked.
