Liverpool vs Chelsea: 5 key battles to watch out for

#2 Eden Hazard vs Alberto Moreno

Hazard has been in scintillating form for the Blues

Eden Hazard can be a nightmare to any defender and guessing by his recent form, it will be extremely hard to keep him at bay. The Belgian continued his fine form against Qarabag in midweek as he picked up from where he left off against West Brom in the league, where he netted twice and provided an assist to Morata in a 4-0 win for Chelsea.

Hazard has been a key figure for Chelsea ever since joining them in 2012 from Ligue 1 outfit Lille. His form will be vital for the Blues if they are to catch up with Manchester City and looks sharper every week showing no signs of slowing down.

Moreno, on the other hand, will be under pressure after his recent nightmare against his former club Sevilla in midweek. The Spaniard was responsible for poor marking which led to Sevilla’s first goal and also conceded a penalty, that was converted from the spot, after sticking out a leg to catch Wasim Ben Yedder.

Chelsea are expected to play a 3-5-2 formation with Hazard roaming freely in and around the final third to provide a cutting edge to their attack and hence he is bound to come up against Moreno, who will have to be at his best, at some point or the other.
