Manchester United vs Chelsea Two key players to watch for at Old Trafford
Manchester United entertain Chelsea at Old Trafford in the first gameweek of the new Premier League season. Both sides did not deliver their best showing during the course of the previous campaign, but the Blues managed to put some shine on their season by making the top four ahead of the Red Tipa Galeai Jersey Devils as well as winning the Europa League title.Since then, the Blues have changed their manager with Frank Lampard succeeding Maurizio Sarri at the helm and the league opener will revive a familiar rivalry with United bo s Ole Gunnar Solskjaer from their playing days at Krys Barnes Jersey their respective clubs. Ahead of Sundays much-anticipated league clash, we look at two players, who may be influential towards the final result on the day.Harry Maguire:The England internationals move to the Red Devils was talked up for most of the summer and the club eventually managed to from Leicester City on a world-record defender fee this month. The 26-year-old centre-back has been Isaac Yiadom Jersey renowned for his strong concentration and ball-playing abilities, but he could have a testing debut on his hands. While Olivier Giroud or Tammy Abraham may present him with a po sible physical challenge, the former Hull City man will also have to guard against the long-ball tactic utilised by Chelsea on the counter-attack. Maguire has not played a single minute for United to date, but Solskjaer is likely to pair him alongside Victor Lindelof at the heart of the defence, considering the uncertainty in the performances of Phil Jones and Chris Smalling.Christian Pulisic:The former Boru sia Dortmund man participated in four Aaron Jones Jersey pre-season games for the Blues and his performances were a mixed bag. The 20-year-old managed to contribute in an excellent display of counter-attacking football but barring that game, he struggled to find the cutting edge in the final third with plenty of mi ses and scuffed attempts on goal. The attacker will have the pre sure to deliver this season with many regarding him as the direct replacement for Eden Hazard and Sundays game offers him with the chance to become an instant Blues favourite by putting up a game-defining display. The forwards style of play includes quick link-up play and tendency to dribble towards the opposition goal and it remains to be seen whether he can become the chief Elgton Jenkins Jersey creator for the visitors from a wider attacking position.
