#2 Alexis Sanchez vs Eden Hazard

Manchester United v Chelsea - Premier League
Hazard and Sanchez battle for the ball

Two time FA Cup winner with Arsenal, Alexis Sanchez will be a key player for Manchester United against Chelsea at Wembley. An experienced player in the competition, Sanchez admitted to a dip in form since his arrival at United but is a sure starter in the final.

Sanchez's goal and assist against Spurs in the semi-final took the club to the final. On his day, the Chilean is a hard man to stop if given space and could be a thorn in Chelsea's side if Moses and co do not contain the player.

Chelsea, on the other hand, has a trump card of their own in Eden Hazard who could rip United's defence into pieces like he has done before on a few occasions. A crafty skilful dribbler, the Belgian will have to be carefully marked by a United player and not given enough room. The star player on each side can make the difference in games like these and are the occasions when great players turn up.
