#3 Will Mourinho park the bus once again?
Despite having the expensive players and one of the best strikers in world football in his ranks Mourinho’s tactics against Liverpool were purely defensive as he cared more about the strengths of the opposition than his own team.
It was apparent on Monday that Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the lone man in the Liverpool half and the two wide men, Marcus Rashford and Ashely Young, were purely selected to block off Liverpool’s full backs than to provide cutbacks and crosses.
Now the question is, will United follow this cautious approach against Chelsea? It is understood that the Red Devils aren’t on the best run of form at the moment with just one win in their last five Premier League matches but that doesn’t mean that a team like United have to sit back and protect their own goal every time they go against their rival teams.

Having enjoyed lucrative football under Ferguson the fans would be really worried if Mourinho employs these tactics against his former club on Sunday.
Mourinho’s counterpart Antonio Conte has insisted that his team will never park the bus like the way United did against Liverpool.
“It’s always right to play for a win and to start a game trying for a win. I always try and transfer these thoughts to my players. If you play at home or away it must be the same a game with a win,” said Conte
