HAZARD WARNING FOR MOURINHO

THERE is no point sugar-coating it: Chelsea’s Eden Hazard has been the Premier League’s best player so far this season.

The Belgium forward is thriving under new Stamford Bridge boss Maurizio Sarri, having initially been eased back into things following the World Cup.

The Blues are level with Liverpool and Manchester City on 20 points at the top of the league, based primarily on the exploits of Hazard (above, left) so far.

He has scored seven times, registered three assists and is the league’s top marksman despite having played less minutes than all of his direct rivals.

Belgium play Switzerland in the Nations League tonight and Holland in a friendly on Tuesday, but still expect Hazard to return to Stamford Bridge ready for battle ahead of their meeting with Manchester United.

He decided the FA Cup Final between the pair in May, and there’s little to suggest Jose Mourinho’s men have any chance of stopping him

running riot on Saturday week.
