Manchester United will be up against Chelsea in the weekend in the Premier League after a good victory against PSG in the Champions League. Solskjaer has a great record against Lampard but the Chelsea boss got the better of United the last time these sides met. The Red Devils will be eager to capitalize on Chelsea’s poor defensive show and their own great attacking displays.
Lately, Manchester United have shown signs of being good on the pitch again, after a poor start to the season. Solskjaer has been tactically spot on in the last couple of games and will look to do exactly the same against rivals Chelsea as well. The Londoners haven’t been in the best of forms and have looked fragile at the back, which will be encouraging to the likes of Rashford and Bruno.
We might see a lot of changes from the PSG game, both in terms of the system used and personnel as well. The Red Devils have a few players as doubts for the fixture and thus Solskjaer will have to be careful while picking the side. But no matter what it is surely going to be an enthralling game.
