4 Key Battles That’ll Determine the Chelsea vs Manchester United Game

#2 Gonzalo Higuaín vs Victor Lindelof

Gonzalo Higuain

Gonzalo Higuaín has started his Chelsea career as well as the team would have expected him to when they got him. He already has three goals to his name which is not a bad feat considering that those have come in just five games for the Blues.

Against United, he will want to repay the faith Sarri has in him with a goal or just a great performance. A goal would be great as strikers are usually judged by them.

The man that he will come up against is Manchester United’s Swedish defender Victor Lindelof. Victor Lindelof has had a change in fortunes since the appointment of Ole Gunnar as Manchester United boss and will want to continue that feat against Chelsea.

As much as there have been major improvements in Lindelof’s game, against PSG it showed that United are still short a central defender or two. But until they are able to address that, Victor Lindelof will continue to be the trusted center back in the team.

With Higuaín wanting to score and Lindelof eager to keep a clean sheet, this will surely be a battle worth watching out for.
