Manchester United vs Chelsea
Manchester United host bitter rivals Chelsea at Old Trafford in the pick of this weekend’s EPL action.
MANCHESTER UNITED
Manchester United players will be booming with confidence coming into this match after their sensational 2-1 win against Paris Saint-Germain in their midweek UEFA Champions League campaign opener in Paris.
There have been questions about their vulnerability defensively following some bad losses to Crystal Palace and Tottenham to start the season. With captain Harry Maguire out for the PSG tie after picking an injury in the 4-1 win at Newcastle, stand-in centre-half Axel Tuanzebe and Aaron Wan-Bissaka were outstanding at the back in keeping world-class forwards Kylian Mbappe and Neymar quiet.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who has, for the most part, had Frank Lampard’s number on speed dial, will have some tough decisions to make regarding team selection.
CHELSEA
After spending heavily in the summer transfer window, Chelsea have struggled to put up consistent performances. They come into this game off a midweek goalless draw against Sevilla in their Champions League opener which followed another draw at the weekend against Southampton, in a game they led 3-0 with just about 10 minutes left in the game, but they collapsed spectacularly and conceded 3 goals in 8 minutes to finish the game all square at 3-3.
Chelsea have shown flashed of their potential in wins over Brighton and Palace, these last two draws, together with another 3-3 draw with Southampton and a home loss to defending champions Liverpool clearly indicate they are still a work in progress.
Lampard was pleased with the defensive shift they put in against Sevilla when they welcomed back newly signed keeper Edourd Mendy from a thigh injury. He has clearly been a stabilizing factor in their defense and will be needed against the high flying United attack.
