Manchester United vs Chelsea: Tactical analysis

This weekend, Chelsea are away to Manchester United in the Premier League, knowing five more wins will clinch the title.

Antonio Conte’s side beat Bournemouth last weekend 3-1 at the Vitality Stadium. Goals from Eden Hazard, Marcos Alonso, and an own goal was enough to keep Chelsea seven points ahead of closest title rivals, Tottenham.

The two sides have already met on two occassions already this season. The first fixture came in October, with the Blues winning 4-0 at Stamford Bridge. Pedro, Cahill, Hazard and Kante were on the scoresheet as Chelsea easily beat United.

Chelsea were also winners in the FA Cup fixture between the two clubs in March. A solitary goal from N’Golo Kante was enough to send Chelsea into the FA Cup semi-finals, at the expense of former manager Jose Mourinho.

Ahead of Sunday’s fixture against Manchester United, we take a look at Jose Mourinho’s side, and see what threats they could pose to the Blues.
