After 12 games, the Blues are three points clear at the top of the Premier League table, having conceded only four goals. Tuchel’s team haven’t lost since October, winning nine of their last ten games in all competitions.
Manchester United, on the other hand, have lost three of their last six games in all competitions. This includes the 4-1 setback at Watford that led to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s dismissal. Wright-Phillips predictably sees the West Londoners as obvious favorites for Sunday’s match at Stamford Bridge.
Wright-Phillips, who also played for Chelsea, told Football London:
Wright-Phillips thinks the only disadvantage Chelsea have against Manchester United is the loss of Chilwell
Wright-Phillips also added that Chelsea will rue the loss of left-back Ben Chilwell, but that everything else points to a victory for the Blues:
On the potential key battle during the game, Wright-Phillips added:
Because of his recent form, the 21-year-old right-back has justifiably earned a lot of attention. He’s already had more goal contributions than any other Blues player this season, with four goals and four assists.
His teammate Christian Pulisic has even stated that he would not be surprised if James continues to lead Chelsea’s goal scoring statistics at the end of the season. That would be quite the feat for a defender.
