2. Eden Hazard

Eden Hazard scored a brilliant goal against City in their last Premier League encounter and expect him to do the same in this game.

Hazard has been in brilliant form this season an is the leading contender to win the PFA player of the season after scoring 11 goals and creating five assists.

Hazard has been in good form lately and was Chelsea’s best player against Crystal Palace. He was unlucky not to get a goal or a win in that match. Hazard was up against a packed defence as Allardyce’s men looked to defend and keep their 2-1 lead.

Hazard will get a lot of space to attack when City lose the ball as they play in such an advanced position on the pitch. When Chelsea counter attack, expect Kante or Matic to get the ball as soon as possible to Eden Hazard for him to counter attack with a pacey run. He will give Stones and Otamendi a headache with his fast paced dribbling.

Hazard will be key to Chelsea’s attack and of he is having a good day, Hazard will destroy city’s defence.
