Sunday's FA Cup semifinal clash is expected to feature some interesting duels.
in the 2019/20 season, Frank Lampard’s young Chelsea team has averaged 60% of possession and out passed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s United 1,535 to 939.
Unfortunately for Chelsea, United have done the more important part by outscoring their opponents 8-1, winning all three. And with the English Premier League season two matches to the end, both teams are in the chase for UEFA Champions League, which means we could classify this FA Cup match as a glorious distraction.
In those three wins, United’s fast attackers have done the most damage, with Marcus Rashford scoring four times; Anthony Martial twice while Daniel James added another. Harry Maguire also scored a header direct from a corner kick. Sunday’s FA Cup semifinal clash is expected to feature some interesting duels, some of which PREMIUM TIMES chronicles below.Lampard has used Cesar Azpilicueta as a makeshift left-back and he will revert to this ploy against United, whose front three are the deadliest in England at the moment. It will task James, who often displays susceptible concentration levels with keeping Rashford quiet – a colossal task for the young fullback.
The real spark for Chelsea after the restart has been the American prodigy, Pulisic. The 21-year-old has looked tired in the last two games but will still be a handful for Wan-Bissaka, who is a hard and smooth tackler. Pulisic will pull the strings from Chelsea’s left flank and if he can get his connection with Mason Mount on the right frequency, Wan-Bissaka will have his attacking nous curbed.
