Cant see United laying a glove on Chelsea.... Early goal, comfortable win 4-1. Hazard could have a field day vs those clowns
Utds next 6 fixtures also mean this weekend could be make or break for utd/jose:
v Chelsea (A) - October 20
v Juventus (H) - October 23
v Everton (H) - October 28
v Bournemouth (A) - November 3
v Juventus (A) - November 7
v Manchester City (A) - November 11
Tough.
Should be an easy Chelsea win but football rarely works like that

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Diamond tbf hazard usually does, but like I say the form book, international break, early kick off, The pessimist in me!
Hazard normally runs us ragged, I wonder if Herrera will return to the team again this time around. Can see Jose shutting up shop again and trying to nick a 1-0.
Agree with your team Nick but I'm thinking Morata instead of Giroud. They're both pretty average but I feel Morata has a got bit more confidence with 2 goals in 2 games and with that goal he scored vs United last season it might help him.
Saturday lunch time fixture after the International Break may not produce an exciting game but I hope we can do it. Worried about their pace on the break as you mentioned with Rashford/Martial
Bogey team, hate this fixture
I'm not going to underestimate this Man Utd side. They still have loads of excellent players that should be performing better than they have been this season and I suspect they'll be well up for this game, especially as they know how many people will be watching this.
In matches liked this form counts for very little and I'm definitely expecting Utd to raise their game for this match and I wouldn't be surprised to see them walk away with a point.

yeah thats tough, I hope he manages to cling on to his position until we play them mid december
Hazard normally runs us ragged

he runs everyone ragged tbf, just our poor record there almost makes you feel like waving the white flag

Agree, can see United sitting deep and soaking up the pressure and then using their strengths which will be hitting us on the break and set pieces as they've got some tall players compared our guys.
Expect to see Hazard man marked by Fred/Herrera

I think someone's lied to you about our strengths, our counter attack is rubbish and our set piece deliver is diabolical, I get the whole we have good players so dnt be complacent as a mean to not sound too confident but its similar to when we play arsenal at home, however well they are playing I expect us to beat them with our record against them

superb, much my thinking mate, as it's early kick off I can't really get on it either to settle the nerves
Form goes out the window.

yeah mate I agree, but I think we will have a lot of the ball so would prefer giroud as he brings hazard/pedro/kovacic into the game better.
As for Morata, 2 goals in 2 games sounds great but he probably should of had 4 or 5
Yeh we can’t risk a liability in Morata, has 2 in 2 but was still $hit in the full game he played as a whole and missed yet another one on one he’s crap.
I hate this type of game, On current form and given our excellent record at home to United we should win comfortably but it never goes like that, I think first goal is key, if we go 1-0 up in the first half I think we’ll win 3-0 / 3-1 but the longer it goes on 0-0 I think they could end up nicking it 1-0

Hahaha true, just a feeling I got with Giroud was watching him last night vs Germany he looked so bad and slow
Good chance for us to go top though and lay down the marker so hopefully we rise to it. Kepa’s looked a lot more settled lately & Alonso’s due a goal and hopefully Hazard will keep up his amazing form
The form of Uniteds defenders tho we should get a lot of chances, Giroud due a goal as well
Hope Pedro gets the nod on the right too, he's usually crucial in games like this.
Think Willian was in the Brazil squad so would make sense for Pedro to start
Yeh had enough of Willian anyway, guy has been diabolical, would be over the moon to never see a Willian corner ever again

Fair point, when I've watched United this season you've been poor in transition but that's because he plays 3 slow midfielders in Matic, Fellaini and Pogba, don't think it'll be them 3 vs us

Willian has been poor regardless, pedro always works, tries hard and has that extra something in his locker. He got a hard press at first because he lost the ball(like sanchez at Arsenal)at times, but it was usually due to trying to push us forward. Now we have a team with this mentality he is thriving.
