Chelsea vs Man Utd

Neto leads Chelsea's recent threat with two goals and an assist in three games, while Palmer supplies the link with one assist and two key passes per game. United's Mbeumo has two goals in three; Cunha adds one assist. Mbeumo is their clearest route to exploiting Chelsea's home concessions.
