Chelsea v Manchester United Betting Tips: Hazard to pile on the pressure on Mourinho

Crowned Premier League Player of the Season after firing Chelsea to the title under Jose Mourinho's management back in 2015, Eden Hazard is a talent the Manchester United boss knows all too well.

Nevertheless, even Mourinho will surely be scratching his head over how to contain the Belgian star when the Red Devils visit Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

With seven goals to his name in the last six league games, Hazard is understandably the favourite to break the deadlock against his former manager's side, at 15/4 (4.75) with bet365.

Having scored the only goal in his side's FA Cup final victory against this opposition back in May, the 27-year-old is well worth backing at 21/20 (2.05) anytime odds this time out.

Hazard's prolific form has proved vital considering the lack of cutting edge displayed by the strikers in Maurizio Sarri's outfit.

Alvaro Morata is priced at 6/4 (2.50) anytime after scoring a modest three times in 11 appearances so far, while Olivier Giroud can be backed at 13/8 (2.63) despite failing to  open his account for the season.

At the other end of the pitch, United will be glad just to see anyone on target after scoring just twice in their last seven visits to this stadium.

However, Romelu Lukaku will be particularly desperate to come back to haunt his former club after going six club matches without a goal.

The 25-year-old striker has struck three times in 10 appearances versus Chelsea, and is his team's 13/2 (7.50) favourite to break the deadlock here, or 2/1 (3.00) to strike anytime.

In high spirits after finding the net in England's impressive victory away to Spain in the week, Marcus Rashford can be backed at 10/3 (4.33) to conclude a fantastic week with a goal here.

Alexis Sanchez finally got off the mark with a last-minute winner against Newcastle last time out, and is also available at 10/3 (4.33) to add to that with a high profile goal in West London.
