Premier League 2018/19: Manchester United vs Chelsea - Combined XI

Left winger: Eden Hazard

Hazard has been one of the few consistent performers

Chelsea's most prized possession, Hazard has had another stellar campaign despite what's happening around him. With 16 goals and 13 assists in the league this campaign so far, the Belgian has anchored Maurizio Sarri's sinking ship with his heroics, but unfortunately missed out on a place in PFA's Team of the Year, though would still be contending for a bigger prize - PFA's Player of the Year.

Right winger: Pedro

Resurgent is the word for Pedro

The Spanish forward hasn't really emulated the prolific numbers from his Barcelona days, but has nevertheless improved after a torrid 2017/18 season that saw him strike only four times in 31 games. So far in the current one, he has managed exactly twice as much with also an assist to go with. His link-up play with Hazard in the attacking third has been admirable, and has also kept an encouraging 87% pass success rate.

Striker: Marcus Rashford

Rashford has propelled his game to another level under Solskjaer

Marcus Rashford has finally lived up to his billing this season. The 21-year old has struck 10 times and assisted another seven in a truly remarkable run, especially since Jose Mourinho left. His rich vein of form has kept Romelu Lukaku out of the starting XI on more than half the occasions, and would also be gunning for the PFA Young Player of the Year prize after earning a well-deserved nomination.
