With the Premier League set to return on the 17th of June, we want to take a look at the possibility of Manchester United beating Chelsea to the top 4 battle.
Manchester United have been impressive in their last 11 matches before the season was halted by Covid-19.
They have peaked at the right time with 5 games unbeaten in their last five Premier League outing.
The battle for the top 4 will return when the premier league season resumes. However we want to take a look at the possibilities of Manchester United upstaging Chelsea in the top 4 race.
Before the season was halted, Chelsea has picked up 7 points from their last 5 fixtures and have dropped 8 points while Manchester United have picked up 11 point in their last 5 matches.
Although, the Chelsea faithful could argue that much of the matches where they dropped form was as a results of the injury to their key and most influential player, NGolo Kante and Tammy Abraham, with the former being a formidable player and leading light in Midfield while the latter is their leading goal scorer so far this season in the Premier League.
With these key players set to return when the season restart, do you see Chelsea mainitaing their Position in the top four and can they withstand the pressure that will be pose by the on form Manchester United in the battle for the top 4?
Manchester United's Transfer dealings In January, has really propelled the club to hit top form as their January acquisitions of Portuguese international, Bruno Fernades from Sporting Lisbon and loan signing of Nigerian International, Odion Jude Ighalo from Shangai Shenua in China has strengthening the squad's line up. Since both players joined the United team, the club hasn't lost a single game in all competions, which shows hoe important they have been to the Manchester United team.
The Manchester United team will also welcome back Paul Pogba and Marcos Rashford to the squad as these two players have been out for a large spell and they are two of United's most important and influencial players.
