5 reasons why Chelsea will beat Manchester United on Sunday

Eden Hazard and Antonio Valencia

4. Chelsea’s flourishing midfield: Eden Hazard has clearly been Chelsea’s best player of the season. With ten goals and six assists he is the player to watch out for. He has grown in confidence and more importantly turned up when the team need him the most. With the likes of Willian and Oscar working tirelessly, the Blues midfield will definitely have the upper hand.

5. Injury plagued United: A fully fit United squad would have assured us of a cracker of a game. With RVP, Rooney, Young, Evra, Evans, Jones, Ferdinand, Fellaini all injured it threatens to be a killjoy.

Though Rooney, Evra and Evans have a realistic chance of making it to match day, their full participation seems doubtful. Rooney was the only spark at Old Trafford last time and Moyes would be praying for a fit Wazza. An injured United tilts the tide in Chelsea’s favour.

Though the Stamford Bridge outfit will be strong favourites one can never underestimate a team of Manchester United’s caliber, no matter who is managing it. From the fans perspective the likes of Januzaj, Willian, Torres and Kagawa can sure light up the place but with the Special One masterminding the play one is never sure what to expect.

A flamboyant side in blue steamrolling the red counterpart or an astute plan to hold things like last time only Mourinho knows what is in store. The Chosen One however would like to come away with a point and if a half chance arrives on the way, you would expect the Champions to grasp it with both hands.
