Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has been terrorising opposition defences of late , but goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has revealed Chelsea have a plan to deal with him . United travel to Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon hoping to put a spanner in the works of Chelsea ’ s Barclays Premier League title charge , with Fellaini the danger man in midfield . But his countryman Courtois says the Blues have been working on a way to combat the unorthodox midfielder after he starred in recent wins over Tottenham , Liverpool and Manchester City . Marouane Fellaini ( pictured ) has been in brilliant form for Manchester United in recent weeks . The 27-year-old controls the ball with his chest during United 's 4-2 victory against Manchester City . 'Manchester United have a lot of other good players to decide a match , so we are not completely focused on Fellaini , ’ Courtois said . ‘ But we know that when he comes into the box , he is very dangerous . ‘ I will probably have to come out to collect crosses into the box . Of course , we know about him and hope to keep him out . ‘ Of course , ( the exact way we deal with him ) has to be kept private . I can not say exactly how we will do it , but of course we know to keep an eye on Marouane. ’ Fellaini has emerged as one of the Premier League ’ s most effective performers recently , flourishing under Louis van Gaal ’ s management after being cast as a joke figure under David Moyes last season . Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois believes his side will be able to combat Fellaini 's style of play .

Courtois has played alongside the big-haired 27-year-old for Belgium , with whom he has also become a key figure , scoring in their last two European Championship qualifiers . ‘ You have to use Marouane 's qualities , ’ Courtois told Sporting Telenet . ‘ If you do not play him in the right position , he might not play as well and could come across as a bad footballer . Courtois celebrates Chelsea 's last minute victory with Cesc Fabregas and John Terry . ‘ But if he is used the right way , I think he has more technical ability than people think . Beyond that , he is obviously very strong and dangerous with his head . He 's a real box-to-box player , he can be in defence and five seconds later upfront and scoring . You have to be very attentive . ' Despite Fellaini ’ s abilities , Courtois is confident of winning the Premier League title and feels Eden Hazard will double it up with the PFA Player of the Year award , even if he admits that teams have found out a way to stop Chelsea . ‘ I think at the start of the season , teams did not really know how to play against us , ’ he said . ‘ Now they know and they try to stop the way we play as much as possible . ‘ Eden has been decisive for us and if we are champions , a lot of credit goes to him , ’ he added . ‘ In that area , he still has an edge over his competitors. ’ Eden Hazard ( left ) has propelled Chelsea to the top of the Premier League with his brilliant displays .
