Storylines
Chelsea: The Blues are looking like a real contender to finish in the top four in what was expected to be a down year losing Eden Hazard, coach Maurizio Sarri and receiving a transfer ban. But young players have stepped up big time, and nobody has done more as of late than American Christian Pulisic. He scored a hat trick at Burnley last weekend and had the game-winning assist in the match right before that. He's one to watch here if he gets enough minutes.
Man. United: The Red Devils scored three goals this weekend at Norwich City, while missing two penalty kicks. It was the first time the club had scored more than a goal in any game since the season-opening win over Chelsea, which United won 4-0. They'll hope for a similar result here but the defense will be tested against a squad on the rise.
Prediction
Pulisic has another strong game, and the Blues advance with a narrow victory.
Pick: Chelsea 2, United 1
