Manchester United vs Chelsea: Key Battles

United’s right-back vs Eden Hazard

Eden Hazard (right) will need to stand up tonight

Rafael, currently United’s best right-back, will be unavailable for the match due to an injury, which means that either Phil Jones or Chris Smalling will be used in that particular position.

Both can do a decent job at right-back. However, keeping Eden Hazard quiet won’t be an easy job at all. The tricky Belgian was a nightmare for most right-backs he faced last season, even Pablo Zabaleta, arguably the League’s best right-back at the moment.

While Hazard hasn’t been Chelsea’s most influential player in their first two matches, he’s the type of player who can turn a game around on his own. Whoever does play at right-back will have his work cut out for him.
