How do United beat Chelsea? We asked MUTV's Danny Higginbotham, who provides four key tactical challenges to overcoming Jose Mourinho's men; while in the video he assesses why Fellaini has been key to results recently...
Get Fellaini on Azpilicueta: "The minute Ashley Young gets the ball, especially early on, I'd tell Marouane Fellaini to get on Azpilicueta because [Ivanovic, Cahill and Terry] may give you a challenge but Cesar is not going to be able to beat Fellaini in the air."

Push runners from midfield: "People may say John Terry will take care of Azpilicueta, but then look at the huge gap in the middle. I'd look to isolate Azpilicueta... and that means Mata and Herrera could start to really dominate the game."
Controlling Fabregas: "If Fabregas does play as a no.10, I think it's vital that we do a similar job to what we did at Anfield against Coutinho - which is allow the centre-backs to take care of Remy or Drogba, so that we make sure Fabregas can't be as influential. Without Michael Carrick, that's difficult but it's crucial."
Close down Nemanja Matic: "When Manchester United do lose the ball and Matic wants to pick it up, I would get one of the midfielders - whether it is Fellaini or even Rooney - to find Matic and don't let them play out from the back."
