EPL 2016-17: 5 things Manchester United must do to beat Chelsea

Eden Hazard and Willian
The two players have started the season in brilliant fashion

#5 The real Pogba should show up

Paul Pogba
Pogba was once again peripheral against Liverpool

£89 million is one tag that will always follow him and Pogba still hasn’t done enough to get that tag off his back. If Paul Pogba shows up and displays more than just glimpses, then United will win this game. However, that is easier said than done. It is worth noting that Pogba played further forward against Liverpool with Herrera and Fellaini deployed in the centre.

Pogba was once again peripheral against Liverpool and the pressure seems to be adding up. Will he finally live up to his big name billing in one of the biggest league games of them all or will he wither away remains to be seen.

Form does seem to be suiting Chelsea at the moment but all it takes is one moment of brilliance to make a difference. Pogba is one of those players who certainly have that ability and whether he shows up remains to be seen.

Thus, we see five points where United can win the battle against Chelsea. United’s depth in squad gives them a further advantage. With Mourinho returning to his old stomping ground where he's had a stellar record, Chelsea will have to be on their toes to win this game.

It will be a brilliant tactical battle with both Conte and Mourinho relying heavily on the finer details to win this game. A great match is on the cards for the fans watching.
