Saturday's Sky Sports Six-a-Side line-up sees Manchester United travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea and attempt to put a stop to Maurizio Sarri's unbeaten record.
Jose Mourinho returns to Chelsea once more as an away manager and comes up against a side that have won six and drawn two of their opening eight games. Man Utd came from 2-0 down at home to Newcastle to earn a last-gasp winner through Alexis Sanchez in their last outing.
Your Elite Player is always a challenging choice, especially with such a star-studded line-up that all possess the ability to bring in a hefty points haul from this blockbuster clash.
Take a look at the contenders below and pick your Six-a-Side team...
Eden Hazard has found his top form and taken the league by storm, lashing home seven goals and turning provider for three.
This leaves little reason as to how and why the Chelsea playmaker is the top points scorer in Sky Sports Six-a-Side, with his average haul of 82.19 points per game.
His 19 chances created is more than any other Elite Player, placing Hazard as the obvious front-runner of choice going into Saturday, but will he deliver against old boss Mourinho?
Marcos Alonso has had another fine start to a Premier League season, only mustering the solitary goal, yet making up for that with the five assists he has made for his team-mates.
He has made an impressive 36 clearances, contributing to 72 of his 537 Sky Sports Six-a-Side points, while racking up 222 from his passing, which can be linked to the nine chances he has created thus far.
The Spaniard poses something different to the other three Elite Players, as he can gain points from recording clean sheets. He has four in eight with Chelsea and this has contributed an additional 100 points to his total.
The Belgium striker enjoyed a good World Cup with his country - where he registered four goals - and has carried that on into the UEFA Nations League, where he also has four strikes in two games.
He has taken his finishing boots into the Premier League campaign too, notching four for the Red Devils during their topsy-turvy start to the season.
Lukaku does boast 18 successful aerial duels - more than any other Elite Player - which could earn pivotal points for Sky Sports Six-a-Side players on Saturday, especially if he can get his head on to a delivery from one of his team-mates.
Amid the speculation regarding his relationship with Jose Mourinho, Paul Pogba has directly contributed to four goals this season, with two goals and two assists.
The World Cup winner has attained 226.5 of his 466.5 points from passing, which can offer Sky Sports Six-a-Side players a reliable source of points, particularly when he has more than the other Elite Players.
Pogba has also won 19 fouls - only bettered by Eden Hazard - as well as being on penalty duty, which could give you valuable points in the bid to outscore your competitors.
