Five things to watch for when Chelsea face Manchester United

Chelsea are in dire need of a win after their Halloween horror show in Rome.

Antonio Conte has admitted his side need to pick up three points against Manchester United on Sunday if they are to keep any hopes of a title challenge alive.

Against Roma, Chelsea were lacking of any sort of quality you would come to expect from a side currently holding the Premier League crown.

Their performance was summed up most, perhaps, in the chance from Diego Perotti to make it 4-0. The entire Blues defence crowded around Edin Dzeko, only to leave Perotti unmarked in the box, but he squandered a glorious chance.

Chelsea’s defence is in serious need of improvement, with individual mistakes and poor communication across the back line proving to be a recurring issue.

This issue needs to be rectified immediately, as United come to the Bridge with a boost of confidence after beating Tottenham in the league and Benfica in the Champions League.

Here are five things to look out for in Sunday’s must-win game for the Blues at Stamford Bridge.
