The bigger the games are, the better for us. "We have to try to keep them quiet and give ourselves the freedom to play as well, but it's a difficult thing to do, especially away from home, so we have to have the same mentality and mindset as we did at Anfield."In these games, it's a lot to do with one-v-ones and, if you get the better of your opponent, maybe you get the better of the game." United sit seventh heading into Sunday's clash, two points behind Chelsea, and Rashford added that Antonio Conte has inherited a similar situation at Chelsea as Mourinho did at Old Trafford. "They've been a bit up and down but the manager has got them in a good shape and structure, and I think they've got a good plan of where they want to be," he added."They've got a very strong squad, I think they're in a similar situation as us."</blockquote>
