Manchester United’s 0-0 draw with Chelsea at the weekend did little to dispel the common criticism of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side as incapable of unlocking a bunkered defense. The Reds shaded the stalemate, even coming close to a win with Marcus Rashford’s late curler, but can have no complaints with the result. Frank Lampard’s back three — more like a back five, really — kept United at bay and denied the likes of Daniel James and Rashford space to operate. New season, same old problem.

(3) Thankfully, RB Leipzig are unlikely to follow in Lampard’s footsteps on Wednesday night. The Bundesliga leaders know only one speed: all out. Whether in attack or on the press, Leipzig are aggressive and refuse to sit back. Expect them to push high up the pitch, playing the ball vertically to stay on the front foot, and overloading the flanks to gain a numerical advantage. This profile plays into counterattack-loving Manchester United’s hands, but RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann is quite gifted at throwing tactical curveballs.

(4) Coming out of the international break, Solskjaer seems to have found his preferred midfield pivot: Scott McTominay and Fred. The pair started in the wins at Newcastle and PSG and the Chelsea draw, controlling the middle and providing defensive support that had been sorely lacking in earlier matches. Their strong play, though, leaves Paul Pogba and Donny van de Beek out in the cold. Solskjaer has found minutes for Pogba as a super-sub of sorts, but Van de Beek is still struggling for a chance.

Hopefully we go all out and get the desired 3 points.

This Laporte and Ruben dias partnership dey excite me and I am happy....

But I think the main problem in mancity right is attacking players..... I think mancity seriously need a world class striker like Mbappe or Haaland to support and maybe replace aged aguero.........

Ferran Torres and mehrez are one and the same player with similar Playing pattern (they are both weak and lazy for a city player) I would gladly exchange both of them for Adam troare...

Mancity seriously need David ALABA to replace Mendy........

Rodri is a serious mess when defending, he cannot sense and neutralized danger before they occur..... Though he is good attacking wise........ I will advise pep to use Fernandinho more this season if he wants to win trophy

I think that is the summary of mancity this season

Full time draw.............

2 goals Dey this game

GGMU we taking this 3 points tonight

The game is gonna be tough but I see man united coming out victorious today, atlest by 2 goal margin. Glory Glory man united

pernadez?

Donny Van De Beek's agent must have been quite stupid allowing his boy sign up to United!!!... What were they both thinking?!! What were Olé and Woodhead thinking too??!...

Money that should have been well invested in defensive bolstering!!!... Now, they are about to waste such an amazing midfielder on the bench!!!

This is why United needs a better coach, and a seasoned sports director!!!

This is typical DRAW game
