Chelsea would take draw against Man Utd, says Jamie Redknapp

Jamie Redknapp expects Chelsea to adopt a defensive approach against Manchester United on Saturday Night Football and reckons Jose Mourinho could use Kurt Zouma to stop Marouane Fellaini...

Jose Mourinho would bite your hand off for a draw against Manchester United on Saturday night.

Yes, Chelsea are seven points clear at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand, but they haven’t been playing with the same spark they had earlier in the season, while United have been very, very good.

Wayne Rooney has looked a real threat up front and Juan Mata has come in and been brilliant, too, scoring some important goals.

But the man Chelsea have to stop – and this is remarkable, considering how poor he was last season – is Marouane Fellaini.

Last season he was a laughing stock. That sounds harsh, but the fans would have carried him off the field he was playing that badly. But now, the Belgian is United’s go-to man and got a standing ovation when he was subbed against Man City.

It’s been an incredible transformation for him – and all credit to Fellaini.

I don’t think he’s going to be a long-term solution at United but I have to hold my hands up and say, ‘well played, you’ve done well and changed the opinion of you’. It’s not easy to do that in football.

A lot of players would have sat back, taken their money and asked for a transfer. He didn’t. He got his head down, got on with it, and has produced some really good performances.

So much so, we’re asking, ‘how will Chelsea deal with him?’ The answer is that Mourinho will probably bring Kurt Zouma into midfield to try to match him physically.
