CHELSEA star Eden Hazard thinks Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho might have a plan to stifle him tomorrow.
Hazard has endured something of a slow start to the campaign having missed the entirety of pre-season with an ankle injury.
But he’s shown flashes of the brilliance that helped Chelsea win the Premier League twice in the past three years.
Hazard will be out to hurt United when they visit to Stamford Bridge tomorrow afternoon (4.30pm).
Mourinho is likely to target the Belgium international though, with Ander Herrera successfully deployed to man-mark him when the sides faced off in April.
Hazard has now predicted he’ll need to have a plan of his own in mind to escape the shackles United try to put on him.
Hazard told Sky Sports: “I don’t know their strategy but I remember last year at Old Trafford, so maybe yes [Mourinho will have a plan for me].
“But if that happens I need to find a solution to shine.
“Last year at Old Trafford I didn’t find it so I hope we can find it – not just me but our 11 players – so we can win this game.”
Chelsea sit fourth in the Premier League going into the United clash, having collected 19 points from their opening 10 games.
They can leapfrog London rivals Tottenham into third this weekend.
For that to happen they must beat Mourinho’s men and Spurs fail to take three points against Crystal Palace.
