The Tavern is expected to be full to the brim this weekend, as our lively punters catch Jose Mourinho return to Chelsea, as the Blues take on Man Utd at Stamford Bridge…

The fixture will no doubt be a fiery affair, with games between the two clubs often very crucial in the context of the Premier League season.

This one appears less so than is atypical, with neither side expected to challenge for the Premier League title this season; but the game has got the punters in the Football Transfer Tavern excited nonetheless.

The talent on show will, as always, be astounding – but which stars are going to make the biggest impact?

Let’s take a look at the THREE players to watch in the Chelsea vs Man Utd game this Sunday…

David De Gea

There is a reason this guy has been the number 1 at United for the past 3 seasons.

He is still only 24-years-old and is right up there as one of the best goalkeepers of this generation.

The Spanish International has saved his side on a number of occasions – no more so than in Monday’s 0-0 draw with Liverpool at Anfield.

He could be the difference in the game, especially with the Chelsea attack often so threatening.

Diego Costa

The player you either love or hate or hate to love!

Like him or not, there is no denying the talent this guy has. He has a poor temperament and that can sometimes overshadow the good in his game.

Costa seems to always turn up in the bigger games and he could be a big challenge for the United back line, and if he’s on form he’ll for sure make a difference for the home side.

He’s been scoring a lot lately in an otherwise underperforming Chelsea side – he is definitely one to watch in the game.

Marcus Rashford

The England international loves a big game! We witnessed that in his debut year last year when he scored the only goal in a victory over local rivals Manchester City.

The 18-year-old has been a revelation since breaking through into the Red Devils first team.

Rashford is improving game after game and he could cause so many problems for his fellow compatriot Cahill and his Chelsea defensive partners- who’ve looked very shaky this season.
