Why Jorginho will be key for Chelsea in slowing down deadly Rashford counter

Chelsea take on Manchester United tomorrow night in what promises to be a fascinating tactical battle.

The Blues are in a right mess at the moment, having barely scraped by against Malmo in the Europa League after getting crushed in the league by Manchester City and Bournemouth recently.

Our strongest team will be out there tomorrow though, and will surely cause United problems.

Their great strength under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been on the counter, with Marcus Rashford deadly on the break.

If we push high up like we did against City, we risk being demolished again.

Instead we need to sit deep and play a patient passing game. Jorginho will be key in slowing the tempo and preventing and fast breaks.

Meanwhile, it will be down to the partnership between Eden Hazard and Gonzalo Higuain up front to provide the spark. Let’s hope they do, because we’re unlikely to be able to survive this game without conceding at least one.
