Manchester United vs Chelsea: 3 battles that will decide the game

Manchester United v Chelsea - Premier League
Who will come out on top?

#1 Paul Pogba vs N'golo Kante

Manchester United v Chelsea - Premier League
A French affair

Just like Hazard, Paul Pogba is capable of the extraordinary, one who is simply unplayable at his best. The only thing missing from his game is the consistency that his manager craves for and given his prodigious talent, everyone expects more from the Frenchman every time he plays and rightly so.

Since a shift to a 4-3-3 formation, Pogba has been deployed at his natural position and has been tasked with initiating attacks and providing the missing jigsaw to his teammates up front. He has sometimes lacked the flavour but being a man for the big occasions, we can expect the "real" Pogba to turn up on Saturday.

He will be plying his trade at the centre of the park and his international teammate N'golo Kante will be asked to do what he does best- to stop Pogba and United from dictating the tempo of the game.

Kante is the glue that holds this Chelsea team together and who has mastered the art of breaking up opposition attacks. And when United try to assert their dominance over the course of the match, Kante will prove to be a major obstacle for them to overcome.
