Manchester United face Chelsea in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon.
Read on as we look at the individual battles that could determine the fixture.
Bruno Fernandes vs Moises Caicedo
Fernandes is expected to return to the starting line-up here after being an unused substitute in last weekend’s defeat to Bournemouth.
The Portuguese has not enjoyed the best start to the season, but remains United’s most creative player. His ability to pick out incisive passes would be key for the Red Devils.
Caicedo is expected to be tasked with the role of limiting Fernandes’ influence, being Chelsea’s best defensive midfielder.
Whoever comes out on top in this battle could determine the outcome of this fixture.
Carlos Baleba vs Cole Palmer
Palmer has been one of the most impressive players for the Blues this season, despite receiving the first red card of his senior career against Tottenham Hotspur last summer.
The England international can unlock a defence with his passing and poses a goal threat. He has scored four goals in seven games against Man United.
Baleba needs to track Palmer’s movement to limit the hosts creating dangerous opportunities.
Bryan Mbeumo vs Levi Colwill
Mbeumo is United’s top scorer in the Premier League, making him one the visitors’ biggest attacking threats.
The forward is expected to lead United’s attack with Benjamin Sesko remaining on the sidelines. His movement inside and outside the box would be crucial to breaking down Chelsea.
Colwill will need to read Mbeumo’s runs and ensure Chelsea do not leave excessive space behind their defensive line.
Morgan Rogers vs Leny Yoro
Rogers has enjoyed a brilliant start to life at Chelsea. Only Joao Pedro has recorded more league goal involvements than the English forward for the Blues this season.
Rogers gives the hosts a different attacking dimension with his ability to consistently cut inside and shoot.
Yoro, who has been deployed as Man United’s right-back in recent games due to injuries, has to be switched on to keep the former Aston Villa man quiet.
