Match Preview : Manchester United VS Chelsea, As The Chase To Catch Manchester City Goes On

Manchester United will lock their horns against Chelsea in Premier League and the result of the match is going to be really important for both the teams. The Blues have drawn against Barcelona with a scoreline of 1-1 at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of the round of 16 clash of UEFA Champions League. The Blues have given their all in this match against the Catalan Giants. Antonio Conte’s tactical masterstroke have almost worked for the Blues at their home ground Stamford Bridge. Playing Eden Hazard as a false nine and keeping both Pedro and Willian in the field together.

 

On the other hand, David De Gea is the name, now all United fans will wish to utter. He was the savior of the team against the La Liga side Sevilla in the first leg of round of 16 clash of UEFA Champions League at the home match of Sevilla. His back to back saves proved that he is now one of the best Goalkeepers of the World right now if not the best.



Chelsea have two renowned strikers in their squad , keeping both of them in the bench was a real brave decision taken by Antonio Conte. The selection might have paid off if the miss pass given by Cesar Azpilicueta was not converted into a Goal by Lionel Messi. The second leg will happen at Camp Nou and if Chelsea can display this spirited performance at Camp Nou too, they will surely have a chance to go through to the quarter final of the biggest event of Europe.

 

It was a complete magical show displayed by Willian at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night. His pace was blistering and his shots from distance were great. But the luck was probably not in favour of the Blues as two shots of Willian with great power were denied by the post. But he didn’t stop trying to take shots from distance. For this reason, he got the result in the second half. It was a short corner of Chelsea ; Hazard gives the ball to Willian who took a curved shot towards Goal and Ter Stegen has no clue to stop it from a Goal.
