Preview- Chelsea vs Man Utd- FA Cup

in #football6 years ago

Man Utd and Chelsea are set to meet in the 5th round of FA cup tie on Monday night. It is going to be an important match for both struggling teams who are eyeing on winning at least a silverware this season. Man Utd met Arsenal and they comfortably won the tie 3-1 at emirates while Chelsea defeated Sheffield Wednesday by 3-0.

Man Utd lost at Old Trafford against PSG 2-0 in Champions league and with this tie being nearly over for them, they need to win against chelsea to keep themselves in the contention of a Cup this season. The problem they are facing is injuries of their main players with tough fixtures ahead. Martial and Lingard both were subbed off after first half against. United is struggling to put the best XI on the pitch against Chelsea. Due to injuries, Lukaku and Sanchez might return to starting XI with Rashford. Fred and Periera might get a chance in the midfield while smalling, jones and dalot will be in line to start this match. United might go with the 3-4-3 formation.
Chelsea have won the last match against Malmo after their 6-0 humiliating defeat against City. They have dropped to 6th in PL and their confidence is low. Although they have beaten Malmo but with the 2nd leg to be played on 21st Feb and Carabao cup final on 24th feb, they are facing a huge challenge in selection of the playing XI. Higuain, Rudiger and Kante will return to starting XI after a rest in Europa league.

So we might see an interesting match as united will be looking to take the revenge of FA Cup final of 2018. I am predicting a comfortable win of Man Utd, i.e 2-0 but you cannot rule Chelsea out of the match. They are a good team and they will be hard to beat at the Stamford Bridge.
