5 reasons Chelsea will beat Manchester City
By Matt English
4. Eden Hazard
After a lackluster Premier League campaign last season, fans are finally seeing the Eden Hazard they know and love. He has been scoring goals and creating numerous chances for his teammates. His ability to take on a defender and seemingly float past them makes him an arduous target to mark.
His recent form suggests City will have their hands full when he has the ball at his feet. Quick passing and movement are another part of Hazards game that can quickly unlock a defense and have him one on one with the keeper. Even just opening up space for other players in the box can be a big part of having Hazard on the pitch.
Hazard will look to improve on his seven goal tally in the league as he blitzes up and down the left wing. If the Manchester defense forgets about him for even a second, they will live to regret it. The potency that Hazard possesses in and around the box make him one of the best players in the league. Shutting him down will need to be a top priority for Guardiola to get across to his men if he wants to have a chance in this match.
