Man Utd defender Lindelof: Stopping Hazard?

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof says they have a plan to stop Chelsea ace Eden Hazard today.

They have slipped down to sixth in the Premier League table and another defeat will all but end their hopes of finishing in the top four.

"Don't give him too much space because he will do something great, he's a fantastic player," Lindelof told the United Review.

"He's shown that for a lot of years now.

"You have to stay close to him and don't let him have any space with the ball facing our goal."

He added: "They're just a very good team with some fantastic players. Even if they have a bad day, they still have very good individual players who can create chances from almost nothing.

"They're very good in possession so you have to be really focused when you're defending. You can't give them too much space. They're a good team but we'll be ready for this game."
