Will Jose stop Hazard… again?
Jose Mourinho went to extreme measures to nullify Eden Hazard in Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Chelsea at Old Trafford last season. Will he stop him again in the same fixture on Super Sunday?
“Hazard was desperate to prove a point to the man who questioned his heart during their bitter fall-out in the previous season at Chelsea, and there was no doubt he succeeded. But when he travelled to Old Trafford for the third meeting between the two sides in the penultimate month of the campaign, Mourinho finally enjoyed the upper hand.”

WATCH: Chelsea v Man Utd, 1997
Relive a classic Premier League clash between Chelsea and Manchester United from this week in 1997.
In this week in 1997, superb goals from Gianfranco Zola and David Beckham ensured a share of the points
Lukaku and Morata’s problem
Romelu Lukaku and Alvaro Morata joined their new clubs for big money in the summer but were expectations too high? Ahead of Sunday’s clash, we take a look…
“That the pair appeared set to make the move to each other’s clubs at one stage in that transfer window only adds to the intrigue.

What now for Rashford?

Merson’s prediction
And finally, the Magic Man’s prediction…
“It’s a must-not-lose game for both teams. If United win this, they almost put Chelsea to bed with a six-point gap, with Palace next up for them. Chelsea, meanwhile, go to Man City next, which will be hugely difficult.
“If United lose this, there could be a point between four teams in the top-four race, that’s too close for comfort for United given they’ve been around second place for the entire season.”
PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 (9/2 with Sky Bet)
