Chelsea are hosting Manchester United this Saturday at Stamford Bridge with both teams fighting for top 4 spot. The fight for top 4 has already come to heat as top 2 spots are cemented by both Arsenal and Man City but still early to say so as season has witnessed just 10 matches.

Manchester United have shown a great positive attitude and amazing work rate against Tottenham on Wednesday as they beat current no.3 by 2-0, Man Utd played possibly their most aggressive game of the season against Spurs as they recorded 28 shots (most by any team in premier league this season).

Bruno Fernandes might have let media talk talk about him being wasteful at times but he had created the most chances against Spurs and Eric Ten Hag sees him in a pivot role in the rebuilding of Manchester United’s squad.

Defensively they the duo of Lisandro Martinez & Raphael Varane looks way too sharp and strong than United’s regular CB pair last season of Harry Maguire & Victor Lindelöf, with Casemiro settling in well in Eric’s system after a long waited transfer of Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona didn’t happen now United look very strong in the areas where they were easiest to target last season.

But troubles still prefers to be around Man Utd as they now struggling to find back of the net after all the chances created, with Anthony Martial mostly injured & Cristiano Ronaldo has just done something against his vast image & ended up being suspended by the manager for the clash, though they have in form Marcus Rashford but relying solely on him for a no.9 role was nowhere in Eric’s plans.

Chelsea on the other hand who have great depth in squad when it comes to midfield, defense, wingers are still a bit shaky and moveable as they still adapting the way’s of the new Manager Graham Potter, With Mason Mount in a decent run, they are strong in center of the pitch with like of Kante, Jorginho, loftus cheek, with UTD’s current accuracy of finding back of the net Edouard Mendy might frustate them as Omonia & Newcastle did recently.

Chelsea are currently placed 4th on the table ahead of United with a mere gap of 1 point this could be very crucial for both the teams to get their space in top 4. The both clubs have spent the most on strengthening their squad in Premier League in summer transfermarket of 2022.

Chelsea would surely be trying to take the advantage of Home ground & would try to take the advantage of missing Megastar Cristiano Ronaldo.

United who are too good with counter attacks would prefer to display a defensive strategy with counter attacks as their prime focus.
