Chelsea vs Manchester United: Combined XI

Left winger: Eden Hazard

Hazard is flying high with 7 goals in 8 games

The Belgian wizard is the most prolific in the league so far with 7 goals. To put that into perspective, he's only 6 behind what he managed last term and 9 behind his best return, and we're not even halfway through the season! To add frosting to the cake, he also has 3 assists, which means he's had a hand in 56% of Chelsea's goals so far.

Hazard's amazing form has conveniently papered over Morata's struggles up front and would naturally be the single biggest threat coming from Chelsea that United have to deal with.

Right winger: Pedro

Pedro is getting back to his best

Sarri has utilised both Pedro and Willian down that right wing, but the Spaniard has stood out with three goals in four starts so far. However, one of those goals came from the bench which means Pedro has also impacted in a substitute role.

He just needs more consistency to nail down that position. And the Spaniard has what it takes to do it. He looks more confident than he did last term and might as well start in this one ahead of Willian.

Striker: Romelu Lukaku

Lukaku must find his shooting boots soon

Morata has cut himself some slack with a couple of goals in the last two games, but Lukaku has still been better. Only by a whisker though. The Belgian has struck four times so far, but his goals have dried up in the recent weeks: he's without one in the last six games in all competitions.

That has compelled United to look into other players for the goods, but he needs to find his scoring touch again to make a difference in this game.
