Chelsea have been one of the biggest surprises to a number of pundits this season already in the Premier League.

The Blues are very close to the top four places, with Enzo Maresca impressing many since he took over the club.

While Glenn Hoddle thinks Chelsea would be better off with Thomas Tuchel in charge, supporters have been very impressed with what they have seen from the Italian in his first season in charge in the Premier League.

The Blues are taking on Manchester United on Sunday, with it being the first league game for them since they changed their manager.

Jamie Carragher tells Manchester United to copy Chelsea’s rebuild

Chelsea will be unhappy to be taking on a Erik ten Hag-less United side, who will no doubt be looking for a rebuild similar to what has occurred at Stamford Bridge.

Jamie Carragher has advised United to look to what has happened in the last 12 months at Chelsea as a role model for their project.

He said to The Telegraph: “You can also look at Chelsea this season. Go back to last season’s Carabao Cup final when the flak was flying about ‘billionaire bottle jobs’ and it seemed like the club were at their lowest ebb.

“Now they look like they can finish in the top four and will be a force over the next few years. That is the influence a good coach has in the club game, drilling the players on the training pitch every day, creating good habits and the right culture.

“Chelsea are an example to United that no matter how low the side sinks, it often only needs a couple of tweaks to move in the right direction.”

Enzo Maresca needs to beat Manchester United

Maresca may now be feeling the pressure to deliver a win for Chelsea for the first time due to who will be coming into the job at Old Trafford.

Ruben Amorim has been confirmed to become the new United manager later this month, a name previously linked with the Blues job.

The Italian will no doubt be looking to prove the higher ups at Chelsea made the right decision in selecting him to replace Mauricio Pochettino, rather than look at the multiple-trophy winning boss over in Portugal.
