Manchester United may have won the entire Premier League, but that does not mean the excitement is over. In this hotly contested match, feelings are what is most important. Chelsea wants to have a win here to try and cement the chance of being in the Champions League next season. Manchester United may have less motivation, but still many player, fans, and Sir Alex Ferguson will see want to see a positive result here. Most of Manchester's recent matches (4 out of 6) at home have been over 2 goals, but this only tells us so much as they have already won and may not perform as expected. Chelsea want to get all three points, as that would mean they would almost certainly be in the top four and have a chance to win the Champions League again. Though they have lost three of their last six matches, 5 out of 6 were over 2.5 goals, and other than the Man City match, Chelsea has scored in all of their away matches since playing QPR in September. My outcome for this match is that it will be a nail biter, with Chelsea just taking it 2-1 (1-1 and 2-2 were my other guesses).

Man United have won the title and secured this in their last home match, 3-0 win over Aston Villa, capped by a wonder goal from Van Persie, the team travelled to Arsenal and retained their pride in a 1-1 draw.

Here Chelsea need the points to secure champions league football and will travel with confidence following their passage to the Europa League final against Benfica. Benitez will rotate the squad and resume his rivalry with Ferguson from his Liverpool days (who can forget the famous referee rant).

Still, Man Utd play for pride that is all and the greater motivation will be with Chelsea, this is a tough place to take all three points so I can only reason a draw would suit both teams, Chelsea will seek to win the remaining games and keep motivation in tact with a good performance here.

United grab the tittle and will play without any pressure for their coach, fans and prstige here, which got both negative and positive sides IMO. The positive will be that the team could play without pressure, but the negative could be the same result like the local derby against City lost at Old Traford not so long ago.

United and Chelsea made goal/goal in their last 6 meetings here:

10.03.2013 Cup Manchester United 2-2 Chelsea FC
18.09.2011 PR Manchester United 3-1 Chelsea FC
08.05.2011 PR Manchester United 2-1 Chelsea FC

09.08.2009 CS Manchester United 2-2/p.1-4 Chelsea FC

Chelsea reaach the final in europe league and will be boosted by that for sure. They are favourites for the 3rd place and the straight qualificaiton to the CL, and I expect them much more motivated than United here with high confidence. Demba Ba is expected to lead the attack and I see huge troubles for hosts defense. Chelsea scored in 6 straight visits.

I see great football at Old Traford and both sides scoring here

Man Utd and Chelsea are meeting in Premier league today. Chelsea need to win if they want to be in the fight for ther second place, so they need to play offensive football.
Man. Utd is the most scoring team in Premier league, and Chelsea is the seond most scoring team.

Man Utd home form: OOUOO
Chelsea away form: OOOOO

9/10 % of these matches have been matches with over 2,5 goals.

On top of that have the last five H2H matches also been matches with over 2,5 goals.

So i feel confident with this odds, and find it highly likely that it's going to be game with a lot of goals.

We should not forget that Chelsea beat Manchester Utd in the FA Cup and that perhaps kick remembered Red Devils. I expect Manchester before its audience Celse victory for them, this game is not important when it comes to points as they provided a national title, but they have that competitive spirit and I expect that will give the maximum to bring another victory to their fans.

Chelsea have played in the UEFA Cup and they have a lot of games lately, I expect that they are not physically ready for this match, which will come under pressure not to lose but the Manchester unlike them relaxed and start attacking. My pick here is a home win and over 2.5 goals

Chelsea travel north to face Premier League champions Manchester United in the first of two matches in four days that will define their Premier League season. Sir Alex Ferguson’s side came from behind to secure a point at Arsenal after a hard fought 1-1 draw. Robin van Persie marked his return to his former side with United’s equaliser after Theo Walcott had given the Gunners an early lead. The point means the club can’t overhaul Chelsea’s record points total of 95 but Ferguson will be keen for his side to finish the season off in style. The two sides met recently in the FA Cup with Chelsea winning the replay 1-0.

Chelsea warmed up for Sunday’s match at the Premier League champions with a 3-1 win against Basel which secured their place in the Europa League final next month where they’ll face Benfica. Attention turns to domestic matters where they face the biggest week of their season with crucial matches against Manchester United and Tottenham which will determine whether the club qualifies for next year’s Champions League competition. Rafa Benitez side sit third with 65 points although they may find themselves down into fourth with Arsenal playing on Saturday. Juan Mata could return to the starting line-up having been rested in midweek.

Chelsea can maintain their challenge for Champions League football with a positive result at Manchester United.

MATCH PREVIEW :

Match of the week as Manchester United and Liverpool clash at Old Trafford on Super Sunday. And there is a long history between Ferguson and Benitez and they are not the best of friends, largely due to Benitez's time in charge of Liverpool and his infamous 'facts' speech of 2009, while there was also a petty exchange between the duo over accusations of a missed handshake earlier this season.

Despite United already being crowned Champions, Ferguson has promised to field his best lineup so as to respect the other teams who are competing for the Champions League spots. Chelsea will be eager to move back into third spot after Arsenal's win over QPR yesterday. The Blues will have to battle with Tottenham as well as Arsenal for the right to finish third.

Chelsea still have five games to play but will have a long season as they are also in the Europa League Final on 15th May against Benfica to come. They also have another crucial match against Tottenham to come on Wednesday.

But make no mistake the Red Devils will be seeking some revenge after Chelsea ended their hopes of a double by beating them in the FA Cup quarter finals. All eyes will once again be on Robin van Persie, who has scored six goals in his last four games now and is the leading Premiership scorer.

TEAM NEWS :

Manchester United Team News :
Manchester United will be without striker Danny Welbeck for this match due to a knee injury. Central defender Nemanja Vidic and veteran midfielder Paul Scholes are back in training after their respective injuries and the former England man could start from the bench. Ferguson has pledged to select a strong side despite his side already being Champions.

Chelsea Team News :
Ashley Cole is back from his European suspension as Chelsea aims to collect all three points here. Eden Hazard came off as a precaution in the Europa League semi-final defeat of Basel and could start from the bench as Benitez aims to freshen his side and rotate his players. He will also be thinking of Wednesday's clash with Tottenham. Only Oriol Romeu (knee) is a definite absentee, with striker Demba Ba available again after being cup-tied against Basel

Manchester United and Chelsea are against each other tonight in this Premier League match. This match will be played in Old Trafford Stadium of Manchester and in my opinion this must be a huge advantage for Manchester United to make a good performance at home and to secure a positive result in front of their supporters despite that it would be really difficult against a good side as Chelsea.

Chelsea traveled to Macnhester in this weekend without only one player and he is Oriol Romeu that is injured but he is not quite important for the squad so they are full strength today. They are actually in the 3rd position in Premier League with 65 points from 34 matches that they had done in this season and still they have to win a bit more to secure the Champions League spot for the next season.

In the other side Manchester United has to play in this important match without Ashley Young, Paul Scholes and Darren Fletcher as they are all injured. Manchester United had done very well to win the Premier League title but stil they would play this match for pride to prove that they are real champions of England.

In this situation i expect Manchester United to play really well in this match and to be able to beat Chelsea with the motivation that they will get from playing at home and in front of their crowd so ill take Manchester United to beat Chelsea.

For this match, I would suggest betting on the triumph of "Manchester United". One might, perhaps, not so much risk and put on the fact that both teams will score. But I will explain, from which proceed by offering a victory of the "Red Devils" as a bet.
First, the "Chelsea" played during the week. It was a pretty tight match against the "Basel", and Rafael Benitez had not to use all the resources, but try hard not to lose the Swiss guests. It is time.
Second, on Wednesday the "Chelsea" will find incredibly difficult match against the "Spurs", and in many ways even from this meeting depends on what kind of place "Chelsea" will take in the Premier League. In general, all this makes the chart "blue" very tense in contrast to the "United", which is involved in any European competition does not accept, can safely enjoy the glory of winning the Premier League title and celebrate the twentieth.
But we need to celebrate this twentieth title beautifully. And all this can happen just in a game against the "Chelsea", quite interesting and a strong opponent.
If we talk about the losses, then the 'Manchester', they are not so great. We know that will not play Danny Welbeck, but then not a great loss. Against the background of rumors that are now walking around the 'Manchester', and on speculation about who will leave the team (again, on speculation that Rooney will offer four-year contract), we can say that now reigns in the club normal atmosphere: the leaders did not go, chances are, they remain. It is clear that for the next season Manchester United needs to be strengthened, but again, a point. Absolutely positive spirit around the "United". And I think that Ferguson's team, it can do a good job in a home game against the "Chelsea".
Frankly, it will be difficult for Manchester United. But in such a good mood victory in a match that for the "United" does not solve anything, it may just still be an interesting option. And the ratio of bookmakers offering this bet are great.

So my pick : Manchester United to win the match at odds 2.20 on WilliamHill.

English Premier League -

After Tottenham and Arsenal both won yesterday the Chelski's will need to follow suit at Old Trafford today but I don't think they will take anything from this game and will go all in with full stakes for United to win the game.

The amount of times the boys in blue have spoiled Uniteds party I don't think Fergie will let his foot off the gas even though the title is won, think we should see a full team out tonight and a United win.

Chelsea have proven to be able to give United a hard time this season, but with nothing on the line United can just go out there and play, for me they will win this game..

Tootenham and Arsenal won yesterday so this leaves Chelsea under a huge pressure to take points from Old Traford which can be very tricky to say at least.
Manchester United is expected to start with: De Gea; Rafael, Jones, Evans, Evra; Carrick, Giggs; Nani, Kagawa, Rooney; Van Persie as Fletcher, Welbeck and Young are out while Chelsea will count on: Cech; Azpilicueta, Cahill, Ivanovic, Cole; Lampard, Luiz; Mata, Oscar, Hazard; Ba.
Despite home side manager is famous for killing the matches with his defensive attitude I believe once more his defensive should be punished as his opponents have the force to score more then one time and take the over 3.5 goals!

I'm not going into too much analysis for this match, it is the quarter final of the world's oldest cup competition and Man United are the clear favourites against a side struggling for form or direction. The visitors have lost in their last 3 visits to Old Trafford in all competitions and I see no difference here, both teams had disappointing defeats in europe, man united probably the most unfortunate and I suspect that Sir Alex will use that disappointment to ensure that they have a strong home victory today.

Chelsea are an enigma, the fans are against the manager, the players are money hoarding mercenaries or wannabe football managers and this is not a good situation for a winning side.

Home win, clearly. 3-1.

This is a real heavy weight clash between two of the premierships big guns , both lost in Europe this week and Manchester United are feeling hard done by after Nani's sending off against Real Madrid.There has been huge speculation about Wayne Rooney's future at Old Trafford this week after he didnt start in the champions league and despite the fact this has now been rubbished with Sir Alex Ferguson saying Rooney is staying with them it will have an effect. In the past Rooney has come out and answered his critics with his boots and after a troubled week at Old Trafford the fairy tale is Wayne to score the FA Cup is all about fairy tales its worth a small punt.

Manchester United and Chelsea are against each other tonight in this FA Cup match. This match will be played in Old Trafford of Manchester and in my opinion this would be a huge advantage for Manchester United to make a good performance at home and to secure a positive result in front of their supporters despite that they know very well that it won't be easy against a good side as Chelsea.

Chelsea traveled to Manchester in this weekend without only one player and he is Oriol Romeu that is injured but he is not quite important for the squad so he won't be missed in this match. The coach of Chelsea, Rafa Benitez rested couple of player in the midweek match of Europa League against Steaua Bucuresti that they lost it with the result 1-0.

In the other side Manchester United has to play in this important match without Phil Jones, Paul Scholes and Darren Fletcher as they are all injured. Surely the coach of Manchester United won't be worried at all in this weekend since he didn't play in midweek quality players as Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez, Johny Evans, Tom Cleverley, Anderson, Shinji Kagawa and Antonio Valencia so they may all get an opportunity to play in this weekend.

In my opinion Manchester United must be in huge advantage in this important match of FA Cup as they are out from the Champions League now and with the Premier League title almost won surely FA Cup would be an important objective for them so ill take for Manchester United to beat Chelsea.

After the unfortunate game in UEFA Champions League on Tuesday (Manchester United - Real Madrid 1-2 on 05.03.2012), The Red Devils now must focus on their domestic tournaments, where Sir Alex Ferguson's men have an excellent chance to win two trophies for the second time over the last five years.In fact, there is little doubt, that the hosts will fail to win the title in English Premier League, as the distance between The Red Devils and Manchester City is too big in this moment (12 points, ten rounds before the end of the campaign), even for an unpredictable league like Premiership.Despite that loss at "Old Trafford" on Tuesday, the hosts showed good football against Real Madrid (at least until the 57th minute of that game) and proved, that their form is really excellent in this moment.In fact, the defeat against Real Madrid is only the third for Manchester United in 22 games at "Old Trafford" this season (19-0-3 52-23 / all competitions), after that 2-3 against Tottenham Hotspur here on Sep. 29 (Manchester United - Tottenham Hotspur 2-3 on 29.09.2012) and 0-1 against CFR Cluj in UEFA Champions League on Dec. 5 (Manchester United - CFR Cluj 0-1 on 05.12.2012 / in a game without real importance).Phil Jones (defender) and Paul Scholes (midfielder) are still injured and will miss this game against The Blues, as well as Darren Fletcher (defender), who will miss the rest of the season.However, the absence of these three players shouldn't be a big problem for Sir Alex Ferguson, as he has a large squad, with a lot of good players, who can win this game.There is no doubt, that The Blues are in a deep crisis this season.The change of Roberto Di Matteo with Rafael Benitez wasn't so successfull move for Roman Abramovich (at least until this moment), as The Blues are now on 4th position in Premiership (15-7-6 56-30) - nineteen points behind their current opponents.The visitors failed to pass the groups stage of UEFA Champions League for the first time in the last ten years and were eliminated at the semi-finals in Capital One Cup (Chelsea - Swansea City 0-2/0-0).In addition, The Blues were absolutely toothless against Steaua Bucuresti on Thursday (Steaua Bucuresti - Chelsea FC 1-0 on 07.03.2013) and there are some rumours for problems between Rafael Benitez and some of the players in the team.Oriol Romeu (midfielder) will miss the rest of the season due to injury, but one good news for Rafael Benitez is, that he has no other problems with injured or suspended players ahead of this clash.As it can be seen, the current situation is a quite difficult one for the away team, but despite that, I think, that The Blues are capable at least to reach to a replay at "Stamford Bridge".Despite all their problems in this moment, the visitors are not a team, who can be underestimated.In fact, The Blues showed really good performance in such tournaments over the last couple of years, winning four times this tournament (2007,2009,2010 and 2012), two times Capital One Cup (2005 and 2007), not to mention their trophy in UEFA Champions League last season.Rafael Benitez himself can also be considered as a specialist in such tournaments, as he managed to win UEFA Champions League (2005), UEFA Cup (2004), FA Cup (2006) and FIFA Club World Cup (2010) so far in his career.So, I have a feeling, that The Blues will play more games in this tournament.

This is maybe the most interesting match from the FA cup this weekend. In the moment Manchester United are leading with 12 points to Manchester city in the Premiership and they were eliminated from Real Madrid for the Champions league. Now all of their attention will be focus on this match today and I should say that they are the favorite here. Chelsea are continuing to play poorly and the lost from Steaua in Romania for Europe league. Chelsea will be huge pressure, because they have not won a match here since 2009/2010 and in my opinion they will not win today either. Still this tournament is very special and anything can happen. I think the over here is the most reasonable bet and I take it.

I'm well glad Fergie has come out and rubbished the rumours about Wayne Rooney, he hasn't always been consistent but has been a class act when he turns up to the dance. When he was given a contract of 250k a week I had my suspicions that he wouldn't be at United for long so he may go sometime in the future but that's a different discussion for another day as it stands he is still a United players and I think he can light up Old Trafford today.

Think he should start today and would not be surprised to see him being named man of the match once 90mims of this game are done. He has a good record against Chelsea and I think we could see another top performance here..

English Premier League -

Looks like it could be another classic cup game between these sides at Old Trafford today and instead of going for winners today I am going with the individual market and for this punt I am taking Robin Van Persie to score the first goal in the game.

After the disappontment of midweek and knowing they don't ply again for a week we should see a full strenght United side out in this game, like the chances of seeing a strong start from the league leaders and will go with RVP for the first goal.

Been a few games since he scored, with all the critical about Rooney this week the same can not be said about RVP, he is definetly a big game player, usually puts in a good performance against the better sides and I like the chances of him finding the win on this market.

FA Cup


Manchester United ruined in mid-week a perfect season when lost to Real Madrid the qualification in Champions League and the FA Cup and the Premier League title remain their single important objectives for this season.
True the players moral should be affected and might suffer today with Chelsea but the guests are worst then ever losing to Steaua Bucharest in mid-week in Europa League in a match their attack suffered big time.
United is too good for Chelsea not to take advantage of the guests internal problems defensive mistakes and many other more.
I see home side capable to put aside the bad match with real and win this one!

Matchup between Man Utd and Chelsea in the FA Cup:

I feel Man Utd is a better team, and they will be looking for goals, after their hurting loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League, where they played better.

Chelsea is also a good team, but I don't think their normal defensive stence will stand a good place here against this Man Utd team.

Chelsea also doesn't have a game until Thursday, against Steaua, so I don't think they will need to rest players either, therefore I believe we will see many goals in this matchup today.

My suggestion is 8 units on over 3,50 @ 2,60


Good Luck!

FA Cup match between the teams of Manchester United and Chelsea.

I will place two bets here:

- Man Unit H-H v Chelsea @1.83
- Man Unit v Chelsea - Both to score @1.57

United are on the top of the premier league table on 71 points and have not lost a game in 16 weeks with only two of those games being draws. They are clearly the best team in the premier league and look set to also win the FA Cup in my opinion. They always seem to find a way to score and their defense has improved as the season rolls on into the later stages.

Their opponents are Chelsea who have also been very good this year holding a top 4 spot in the premier league for pretty much the entire season. They are however on 52 points which shows the size of the gap that united have now opened up.

Both teams like to attack with Chelsea scoring 25 goals in just 14 games when playing away. When playing at home United have scored a massive 38 goals in 14 games while also conceding just over one per match.

I think both bets provide excellent value here and expect Manchester United to win 2-1 or 3-1 in this match.

Good luck.

Hello everyone!
Man Utd is having a great season this year.They have an outstanding form at Old Trafford.They are coming from an undeserved elimination in Champions League by Real Madrid as they played in a very high level and they were dominant over Madrid.
In last 5 matches at home against Chelsea they have won 4 and lost 1.They have many fresh players like Rooney,Valencia,Kagawa and co. which didn't play for 90 minutes against Real Madrid.Man Utd have rested 2 days more than Chelsea which lost against Steaua on thursday which shows they are not on their day.
So I think Man Utd is going to win.
Good Luck!

Manchester United will host Chelsea in the quarter-finals in the FA Cup. Chelsea eliminated United in extra-time in the Capital One Cup at Stamford Bridge. The Red Devils will be looking for revenge at Old Trafford.

Manchester United is coming to this match after a disappointing and controversial elimination of the Champions League. This could be a great opportunity for recovery. United is playing very good at home this season while Chelsea is very inconsistent.
Manchester has more than comfortable lead in the Premier League while Chelsea will most likely fight for a place in the Champions League till the last gameweek. This means that the Red Devils priority will be the FA Cup while the Blues priority will be securing a place in the Champions League for the next season. I think that United will bounce back in this match and show their class.

Manchester United to win is my pick.

Both Manchester United and Chelsea are hoping to go through in Sunday’s FA Cup sixth round meeting at Old Trafford, after both teams lost in the Champions League and Europa League.

Controversial red card to Nani, United (23-2-3) loss 3-2 aggregate to Real Madrid at home eliminated the Red Devils from the Champions League and seems placed a really big hope to win the FA Cup. They need to cure the wound by a great winning game, prove that lost by Madrid it is only about lucky and unlucky. Luckily, they have Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernández, Shinji Kagawa , Nani, Danny with total 43 goals who are ready to score more than three goals in this match.
For Chelsea, who were just beaten by the Bucharest team, the FA Cup could be the only realistic one to bring home as they have to forget the Premiere League Winner due to the poor performance this season, in the same time they have to secure their position for the Champion league next year. Benitez's burden is heavier than Sir Alex Ferguson, his expensive players like Torres is not yet to show a good sign of improvement. Benitez might be put his hope mainly on Juan Mata, Victor Moses, Ashley Cole and Demba Ba.
I believe wounded Man United will beat the Blues more than 1 goal. Go for Man United home win.

FA Cup match between Manchester United and Chelsea.

Almost guaranteed win for Man U, they're very strong at home and they play better than Chelsea who are struggling to win games even though they have the players and the skill to compete with teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United.. Though the FA Cup isn't the biggest priority for ManU, after they got knocked out of Champions League, I think they want to win something, even though they are probably sure winners of the Premier League this season.

ManU is nearly impossible to beat at home, getting a draw is a victory for the team that steps into the Old Trafford.

Chelsea is stumbling with all the other games than the Premier League ones. They have lost against very poor opponents. Just 3 days ago to Steaua Bucuresti.

With all the signs of victory pointing at Man U's direction, there is no way that this ends anywhere close to draw or Chelsea win.

My prediction 2-0

Good luck!

Chelsea must be wary of rage Manchester United after the championship leader flew out of the European Cup in controversial circumstances.
The victory in the Champions League hosts Old Trafford can forget for another season, but from now on red devils redouble their efforts to take on the design of the double, talking about winning the league and FA Cup. At best clubs rarely a series of two bad results, so I put on a home win.
I definitely think that the blue will be a fight to his opponent, but then will be United. The results, which he shows at home, on the whole excellent. In turn, to today's Chelsea has too many questions to take risks and bet on this team. I really don't like Chelsea at the moment , yes there are some players witch are maybe my favorites , but , the way Benitez put the game I don't like , and I really hope that soon he will leave Chelsea.
Manchester is now in a great shape , and even they lose to Real , I think this will just push them infront , and bring them new power , Rooney was on the banch some matches , and today probably I think he will start in the starting 11 , after a small break , he will probably try to show himself , and to play so that SAF understand that a player like him wouldn't be left on the banch.

I will take 3 bets on this match , 2 bets will be made on the correct score , first one will be 2:0 for Manchester United , and the second one will be 2:1 for Machester United. The last one will be a high stake bet on Manchester United to win , at odds 1.84 on PinnacleSports , because I am really very confident in their win.

Manchester United were robbed against Real Madrid, with Nani been given red card for unconscious foul over Arbeola. The Red Devils looked the better team till that moment of the game, but crumbled after that, under the pressure from Ronaldo and co.

While Man Utd were putting a spirited performance against another giant of European football, Chelsea once again this season suffered humiliation in Europe, being defeated with 0:1 away at the Romanian Steaua. I don't wanna take anything away from Steaua, but they defeated them basically without making a dangerous attack. Honestly this Chelsea will write their names, as the most pathetic Champions League winners in history.

Rooney and Kagawa will be back for United and with van Persie in-front, Manchester should rip apart Chelsea's defense. The Blues still have players like Ba, Hazard, Lampard and etc. who are able to score on their own, so I expect United to win, in an overish game.

After that disappointing result whit RM in C L, Manchester will try to get back on their good performance this season. They will host Chelsea who will come from that terrible match with Steaua. Benitez already knows that his days are almost over if he continue in this bad form so i expect him to try to win here. So open game where both to score will be a good choice here. But odds are quite low on that. So i will rather select home win in match where Chelsea score at least once because they have enough quality for that but they dont have enough quality to win at O T..

Re-match of the weekends Premier League game at the Bridge which United took in a thriller, I think this game will be far from a thriller with both side fielding weakened sides and I don't think we will see many goals in this game.

I am taking 2 picks here the first is a 4 stake on under 2.5 goals and the second will 6 unit stake on the game to finish in a draw. Do not expect to see half the players from this weekends game on show tonight and think this game could finish in a draw and with market markets I am taking I will take under and the draw..

Chelsea will be determined to make up for the performance at the weekend whilst even a weakened unit side isn't really that weak these days..

With both teams likely to focus their main target on the league and champions league we are likely to see a rotation of squads for the league cup game that will mirror the past weekends action. This is likely to see some under used players starting for Chelsea in the mould of Bertrand, Moses, Marin and Sturridge and Manchester United will do the same with Buttner, Powell, Welbeck and Hernandez starting. Hernandez is very under rated at United and you only have to look at his goalscoring record for club and country. He does very well against Chelsea and with a weaker team may flourish. He has scored in 4 of the last 5 games between the teams and has 3 in the last 2 games he has featured in. Great odd’s for him to find the net. I can’t call the game either way but we are always due a good game and goals could flow again.

These two teams met each other also in London just couple days ago. Back then United won with score of 2-3. We could see everything there. Five goals (one was own goal), two red cards, wining goal for visitors that was not regular ... All in all, it was game full of mistakes (mostly mistakes of refs). In any case if odds makers took that previous game as example for offered under/over odds for today, then I can say they are very wrong. In my opinion odds 1.82 for under 3.25 that I found at 12bet - looks more like odds for under 2.75, I would dare to say maybe even for under 2.50. From my point of view, there is no way we'll see again scenario like couple days ago. Don't be surprised if only one goal decide winner this time or maybe don't see goals at all.
Last season it was 3-3 in London, but before that there was ten straight meetings with no more then 3 total goals scored (3 times and 7 times under 2.5).
I am taking two options: Under 3.25 and scoreless draw.

Chelsea is very angry after the loss last round in the premier league and will give their best to take revenge tonight. Even with rotated squad I see strong line up, searching for an early goals in that game. That could be easy task as United and SAF are gonna make many rotations giving rest to rooney, rvp and rio, while the club cotninue to have injury problems and their defense will be experimental. Also United conceded easy goals from Braga , tottenham and chelsea.

Chelsea will take an ealry lead and will control that game IMO, and I expect results like 2;1 or 3;1

Chelsea are still top of the league despite losing to Manchester United in a controversial game where 2 Chelsea players got sent off. With the loss to Ukrainians in Champions League they have now 2 losses in a row. The visitors have 5 straight wins in all competitions and morale is high after gaining an important win away in London in the weekend.

Of course, this is a cup game and neither of these teams treats this competition seriously. They will be using lots of reserves and youth. Chelsea's players will have additional motivation to do better since the team's defeat on Sunday. Goals are expected as any cup game.

What a great game to come into! After the aftermath of the epic game on Sunday this should be a feisty affair. Both teams will probably look to make wholesale team changes but I think Chelsea will be too good on the day.

With the likes of Sturridge and Moses looking to get a game, and the fact that United will field a team basically full of reserve players as they have another HUGE match at the weekend against Arsenal probably means this match wont go down as the greatest performance of the reds and Chelsea should get through with minimal effort.

I'm going for the -0.5,-1 AH on bet 365 as it holds some decent odds and I can easily see them coming in for me!

The last meeting between the sides in this fixture was 3-3 after the home side took a 3-0 lead in the days of Villas Boas. I don't expect a repeat of such an unusual game and would suggest that Chelsea hold the advantage here however a draw would be a fair result and one that both sides would settle for I think. Ferguson has said that Utd "cannot afford to lose" and I would not be suprised that he makes a sacrifice in attack to strengthen midfield so they protect their suspect defence. Man Utd have not done well in shutting out the opposition this term and Chelsea are also free scoring so a 2-2 draw is not out of the question here.

I think the draw will be acceptable to all parties so I will opt for this as most likely outcome.

Chelsea vs Manchester United / Premier League - Fixture 9

Superb game to close fixture 9 at Premier League. Leader Chelsea receives Manchester United in a key battle for the title, even if we still at early stage.

Both teams had a bad Champions League game, but the result for United was a victory (3-2) after huge coming back versus Braga. On the other hand, Chelsea was defeated by Shakhtar.

I think United has a good chance here for winning the game and it won't surprise me to see Chelsea defending on first half.

Because of this, I expect the game to be tied at the halftime and going crazy in the second half.

The total has gone OVER for United on 87% of the times this season, while 50% for Chelsea.

Good luck!

Surely the match of the weekend taking place here as United travel to London to take on the European Champions. The Red Devils have had much the better of their opponents in West London in recent seasons. In fact Chelsea have only beaten United once in the last 4 BPL meetings. I am backing the Blues to buck the trend this weekend and remain atop the league with a win over United.

Simply put, Chelsea have been very good this season and United have not. For all their triumphant success at the end of last season, their dynamic summer signings and scorching hot form this season, Chelsea have really not been given the credit they are due and Di Matteo for me remains one of the most underrated managers in European football. The Swiss' team has a Mourinho vintage athleticism and steel about them with added youth and flair. A very dangerous combination.

United on the other hand have been somewhat poor this season. The additions of Van Persie and Kagawa have both been impressive and United always look quite a threat going forward, it is the frailties at the back and in the center of midfield that have not been addressed which should be cause for concern for a United Fan. Too often this season United have been cleaved open right down their center by pacer more dynamic midfields. Spurs, Stoke and Braga all come to mind.

In summary, I expect Chelsea's attack to enjoy quite a bit of success against United and should find at least a couple goals. I do however expect a characteristic United fight back as their quality going forward will be difficult to stymie. 3-2 Chelsea win.

Premier league game between Chelsea and Manchester United.

Chelsea has bee in superb form in this season at premier league leading with 22pts fro eight games with 19:6 goal difference. They have some of the best front line with players like Torres, Mata, Hazard and Oscar. Through out the years this battle with united has been one of the hottest, produced cards but also in their last five premier league meeting there have been at least three goals.

United currently second right behind Chelsea with six wins and two losses and a 21:11 goal difference. Away side has as good front line with Kagawa,RVP, Rooney and co but their midfield is not the best right now and defense has holes in every game so they concede even against weakest teams but now that two top teams with huge fire power upfront meet with plenty of history it has to be another one of those games where offense decides the faith of the game.

One of the big games of the season with both teams on form we expect a cracker.

Chelsea are still unbeaten this season in the premier league and will be looking to extend their run this week against fellow title contenders and rivals Manchester United. Both teams played midweek champions league games in which Manchester United came back from 2-0 down to beat Braga 3-2 at Old Trafford while Chelsea travelled Shakhtar Donetsk and lost 2-1.

Both teams have very good attacking this season with goals from their star attackers I see this match being a goal fest so I see goals coming from both teams and i think it will be safe to bet on over 2.5 goals in the game.

Clash against two contenders will be a tricky one to predict. As a Chelsea fan I'm not gonna bet on home side, just not to jinx it. But I think there's some value betting on corners here.

So far this season Chelsea have been awarded average 5 corners per Premier League match and average 4.38 corners against them. Thats average 9.38 corners per match.
Manchester United have been awarded 6.13 corners per League match and average and average 5.75 corners against them. That's average 11.88 corners per match. So two teams average 10.63 corners per match.

In last season's matches between Chelsea and Man United there were 14 corners in both matches. In 3-3 draw both teams had 7 corners, and in Manchester's 3-1 home win, Manchester were awarded 4 corners, and Chelsea 10.

Last three matches for Chelsea - against Norwich, Tottenham and Shaktar - there have been average 12.4 corners per match.

Last three matches for Manchester United - against Newcastle, Stoke and Braga - there have been average 9.7 corners per match.

So average corner count in three last matches for both teams is 11.05 corners per match.

Both teams, as we know play strong attacking football, creating a lot of chances and shooting on goal, but some defensive issues lately and key players missing(Terry for Chelsea and Vidic for Manchester) there's a high chance for at least 11 corners in this match, and 1.8 odds are good enough to take.

Games between these two teams always produce goals, and even more so this year with their defences not being at full strength. I can see a draw here with both teams scoring in the process.

There is so much attacking flair and goal threat in these teams that my bet has to be both teams to score at 8/13.

Manchester will give everithing they have in this game and will pressure hosts from the beginning. It will be quit different game for Chelsea than the one with Tottenham. Manchester is way wore experienced when compared to Totenham and if they will get a lead in this game they will choke and defend like Tottenham did. They will know how to control game till the end.. And i hope it will lead them to most needed away win..

Big game this afternoon and I'm going as I see the safest bet. Chelsea is first with 22 pints and 7 wins 1 draw 0 losses. After 6 straight wins in all competitions, Chelsea suffered a defeat away to Shahktar. The Ukrainians proved to be too tough although Chelsea fielded their main players and that's got to be some sort of concern for today's game. Chelsea scores goals but also concedes quite often. Last 6 games went over 2.5 with 4 of them where both teams scored.

Manchester United are 3rd with 6 wins 0 draws and 2 losses. Since their home defeat to Tottenham they have now 4 straight wins but the last 2 games weren't easy. Stoke and Braga both scored 2 goal against them and Braga even scored first, forcing Man Utd to come from behind. They got problems in the defense conceding 11 goals in EPL not counting the Champions League games and have just the 8th defense in the league.

There are chances for a lackluster game with Man Utd satisfied with a draw but I hope we see goals. Both teams to score seems the safest bet at reasonable odds.

To me line movement towards Chelsea isn't clear. The first position in the championship is fiction. Chelsea had very easy calendar and this unique explanation to it ?????.Injured Lampard, banned Terry it will surely affect game and will weaken defense. At Manchester United still problems in defense, but all as to the attacking line then everything is remarkable. Manchester United looks powerfully and completely. Quality of game at Manchester is much more best, than at Chelsea. In an excellent form there are insides Welbeck and Valencia, Rooney and van Persie perfectly looks.
Too much to Manchester.

Chelsea will miss Terry and Lampard but still I rate them in better form than Unite, and having home advantage I see Chelsea taking the full pack of points here ane extending their lead upfront. Chelsea are 7-1-0 so far taking the fist place in the table. The new signings are really impressive and the blues seems strong than ever. They totally smashed Tottenham with 2;4 away from home, showing huge dominance

The same Tottenham won over Untied at old Traford. United is really unstable from the begining of the season and having huge injury problems they are conceding a lot of easy goals. Today Lindegaard is out. Also Vidic, Jones and Smalling all defenders will miss. Kagawa is out too. United conceded 2 goals from Braga during the weekk but still managed to win with 3;2 at the end.

Chelsea is playing solid against United at home in the Premier League, recording 6-4-0 in their last 10 meetings at Stamford Bridge

Moreover, Cahill scored. ManU will be on the move in the game than his opponent. Will play a match to lose. After 3 days, these two teams will play Chelsea in the league cup match field.

English Premier League -

Can become tough to predict the outcomes of big games in the PL this season so for this pick I will stick with Manchester United to score the first goal in the game.

United have been starting games poor this season, they havent defended well at all and have been giving their opponents the lead in to many games this season. Today I don't think they can afford to give away a lead and see them defending well in this game and like the chances of the Red Army scoring first in this game..

Chelsea lost in the CL midweek and will be looking to bounce back but I don't think it will be easy for them a few days after a trip to the Ukraine.

This is the big game of the weekend in the premier league. After 8 rounds of games, these are the top two in the premier league.

Chelsea are crammed full of attacking talent but they have certainly looked beatable at times, despite their fantastic start to the league campaign. They are also coming in to this game on the back of a away defeat to Shakhtar in the Champions league where they were fairly soundly beaten.

Man utd keep winning games despite almost always letting the other team take the lead. They go behind and come back to win the game. This has happened in 3 of their last 4 games.

This is Chelsea's biggest test so far this season and I think it will be when their luck runs out as I fancy Man Utd to sneak the win and at the above odds, it's worth a punt.

Manchester United travel to South-West London on Sunday as they take on Chelsea in a eagerly awaited Premier League clash. Games between Manchester United & Chelsea have decided the destination of the title in the last seven seasons. But Chelsea have fallen well behind their Northern rivals this season and with 12 points separating the two, the Blues are definitely out of the title race. Both teams were involved in mid-week, with United defeating Stoke City 2-0 at home while Chelsea drew 1-1 at Swansea.

Sir Alex Ferguson watched his side draw level with Manchester City at the top as they took full advantage of their rival's loss at Everton. With 16 games left in the season United & City are neck-to-neck in the table, separated only by goal difference. The victory on Tuesday achieved added significance as United got the job done despite missing 11 first-team regulars. The loss to Liverpool in the FA Cup last weekend would have knocked them back a bit, but the stand-ins ensured there were no further slip-ups as Javier Hernandez & Dimitar Berbatov got on the score sheet.

United should see some of their big names return to fitness by Sunday's game, with Wayne Rooney, Nani & Ashley Young all expected to make it to the squad. David de Gea and Anders Lindegaard, both of whom missed the Stoke game after picking up late injuries, are also in the running for Chelsea's game.

Manchester United haven't secured three points from a Premier League trip to Stamford Bridge since 2002 but The Red Devils are on a four-match winning run against Chelsea, stretching back to last season's Champions League quarter-finals. When the two sides met at Old Trafford earlier in the season, the defending Champions prevailed 3-1. As United showed against City, Arsenal and for large periods against Liverpool, they have the experience in their ranks to get the right result. Rooney's return will be vital for the Red Devils while across the divide, the spotlight will once again fall on Torres.

I think that the odds for Man Utd are way too high. They started dropping fast so hurry up.

Man Utd make the trip to Chelsea on Sunday looking for a victory to maintain their title push and keep the pressure on a faltering Man City who must surely now be questioning their ability to actually deliver the Premier League this season, despite looking certainties just a month or 2 ago as Utd stuttered and dropped points on a regular basis

I'm the first to acknowledge that this Man Utd team is a poor relation to previous Man Utd squads and the recall of Paul Scholes, whilst a wise decision in the circumstances, only highlights the lack of faith Alex Ferguson has in his other midfield players who simply haven't risen to the challenge put down with the original retirement of Scholes. Ferguson has even dropped Wayne Rooney back into midfield this season at times, such was his frustration with the lack of creativity being produced

However, this is Man Utd and Alex Ferguson is a master in producing results when least expected and he certainly gets the most out of whatever players he has at his disposal. The big thing UTD have that no other club has is a belief that they're going to win - no matter what the circumstances and I feel this will come to the fore on Sunday when they take on a Chelsea team that for me is past their sell by date

Chelsea will be doing well to clinch 4th position this season as they just have too much dead wood. The entire spine that won League Titles is now no longer the force they once were. Chezh, Terry, Lampard & Drogba all need removed and replaced with younger, hungrier players but there's a reluctance to do this within Stamford Bridge and the comical Torres won't put any fear into the Utd defenders, who will be praying he is selected and plays 90 minutes

Chelsea are only favourites for this game because of their reputation in previous seasons - not based on the facts which are:

Utd have won 5 of their last 6 meetings, including the last 4 in a row

Chelsea have failed to win 4 of their 11 home games this season, conceeding 16 goals in the process

Utd have only lost 1 of their 11 away games, conceeding just 7 goals in total

Chelsea's top goal scorer is still Frank Lampard who Andre Via Boas clearly doesn't view as a first choice anymore. He's scored 9 this season as has Sturridge but their next top scorer is Mata on 4 so Chelsea don't have goals from many sources to relay on

Overall I can only see one result which is a Man Utd win but with the added security of a draw being stakes refunded I think the odds of 2.15 with Bet 365 provide excellent value as I'd be very surprised if Chelsea managed to actually win this fixture and the best they can realistically hope for is a draw and I'm fairly confident they won't even get that

Utd to win is my pick here with stakes refunded if it's a draw... Good Luck

Chelsea and Manchester United are against each other tonight in this Premier League match. This match will be played in Stamford Brige and in my opinion this would be the only slight advantage for Chelsea to make a good performance at home and to secure a positive result in front of their supporters.

Manchester United had done very well to play in a high level during the entire season but despite from that still is behind Manchester City that is leading the Premier League quite calm. Manchester United is actually in the 2nd position in Premier League with 54 points from 23 matches and at the moment is three points behind from Manchester City that played in this weekend and did very well to beat Fulham easy and clear with the result 3-0 by taking the difference to three points again.

Manchester United does have a great chance to beat Chelsea out of form in this season and be in equal points with Manchester City so the pressure would be on them. In this situation I believe that Manchester United does have great odds at the moment and taking them with handicap.

Today we will see a big derby in the English Premier league.

The stats:

2 Man. Utd. 54 35 17-3-3 (23)
4 Chelsea 42 15 12-6-5 (23)

On this kind of matches, I think, you can't count with this kind of stats (league position, etc.).

Chelsea facts/line-up: Andre - Villas Boas have a big selection headache both on the defence, and on the midfield, but there is injured players on the attacking line to.
He can't count with defenders Ashley Cole (suspended) and John Terry, who picked up a knee injury. That means, it's possible that in the CB positions we gonna see a Luiz - Ivanovich pair, or he can give the first chance to new signing Gary Cahill. On the right side of the defence he have J. Bosingwa, but both D. Luiz and Ivanovich can play on that position. For the left-back position, the manager doesn't have too much choices, maybe he will give a chance to R. Bertrand, who didn't played this season yet.
The biggest problem is in the midfield cause Ramires and J.O. Mikel is inured, and Frank Lampard picked up an injury, and his services are really doubtfull. He have Meireles and Romeu, which looks like a good chocie, but who will be the third in the midfield? They have a Lampard who is not fully fit, an Essien who just came back recently from a long injury and a Malouda who is not playing his football in recent times.
On the attacking lines he can't count with Drogba and Kalou. Villas-Boas have Sturridge, Torres, Mata and Lukaku. The most possible attacking a line up is the Sturridge - Torres - Mata line-up with Lukaku on the bench. Without Drogba he must play with Fernando Torres, as a centre striker, who scored just 2 goals on 18 matches this season....
Possible line-up: Cech - Bertrand, Luiz, Ivanovic, Bosingwa - Meireles, Romeu, Malouda - Sturridge , Torres, Mata (4-3-3)

Manchester United facts/line-up: Sir Alex have injury concerns to.
Firstly there is problems in the GK position (since Van Der Sar is retired). Lindegaard fight his way to the first team, forced De Gea to the bench, and finally, he picked up an inury. My personal opinion, Lindegaard is way much better then Spanish youngster De Gea, who don't have the routine for the EPL (yet). De Gea had a little injury to, he just returned to. Ferguson must start with De Gea, because near the Spanish he have Kuszczak and 4th choice keeper Ben Amos. Kuszczak didn't played since last May, so Amos is the favourite near Kuszczak.
Defenders: Vidic is off for all of the season, P. Jones is also picked up a little injury. In the centre defence Ferguson can count with Smalling, Evans and Ferdinand. Ferdinand is likely to start today, his routine is a big boost for MU on matches like this. Ferdinand's partner can be Evans or Smalling, my opinion, Evans is gonna start on this match as a CB. On the left-side, Evra's place is rock solid, on the other hand, on the right-side Ferguson can start with Smalling (the most possible) or Rafael, maybe Fabio, but the twins had injury problems, and they are not fully fit, and they also lack of match practice.
On the midfield Fletcher is off for all season, Anderson also picked up an injury on the inside midfield, he have Giggs, Carrick, Park, Scholes, most possible to start with Carrick - Giggs. On the wide midfield, the boss have Valencia, Park, Nani, Young. I think he will start with Valencia and Park. This is just my opinion, but I heard news just a few minutes ago, that is possible to return Cleverley and Ashley Young, Nani is also healed up, and it's possible that he will start on this match.
Attackers: Rooney, Berbatov, Hernandez, Wellbeck. Who will start today? Rooney had a little injury, but he is fully fit, and Sir Alex want's to start with him (if he didn't lied to the media) so I think the other player near Rooney is gonna be Wellbeck or Hernandez.
Possible line-up: De Gea - Evra, Ferdinand, Evans, Smalling - Park, Giggs, Carrick, Valencia - Rooney, Hernandez (4-4-2)

After that little affair between Anton Ferdinand and John Terry, A. Ferdinand's brother Rio it will be fully fired up, he have the routine, and on this kind of matches, the central defenders have almost the biggest duty. Also Chelsea showed to us his non-goal scoring ability's in the last few matches (at home and overall to), yet despite of the inurys and the bad form there is Meireles, Mata, Sturridge who can score goals any time, and MU with De Gea (and not with Lindegaard) and without Vidic is very vulnerable on the back, especially when they playing away.
MU's recent record is not too bad on the Stanford Bridge, on the last 2 matches the first goalscorer was Rooney. I really hope he is gonna start today, and if he gonna play alongside Wellbeck, the possible most possible first goalscorer is Rooney, but if Rooney will start with Hernandez, maybe Hernandez have biggest chances to score the first goal (it's all because Ferguson's tactics).
Now, I just wanted to write a deeper analysis, I'm gonna listen to my hunch and I gonna make an "impossible" bet. If you don't like that bet what I'm gonna make here, you can still use this analysis becuase of the informations/news.

Final tip, Wayne Rooney to score first, and Manchester United to win 2-1 (correct score).

Good luck!

Chelsea do have a few problems at the moment, but so do Man Utd. With Drogba away and Torres still struggling; and Terry out and Lampard getting older, you would think a Man Uts team would have a great shout here.

However, United are also playing ageing has-beens like Scholes and Giggs. Defeats at Liverpool and Newcastle recently indicate that United have a softer belly than usual, and United are under pressure in the goal-keeping department.

For their faults, Chelsea have only lost one of their last ten games, and at even money draw-no-bet I trust them to get a return at Stamford Bridge. Arsenal are putting Chelsea in danger of missing out on a top-four place, and an away win could be costly.

Starting with the home playing team, Chelsea is playing not that good this season. They are currently in 4th place and they have no chances to win the championship. Besides from the poor results, they are also not playing good. For example last match against Swansea, they drawed 1-1. But Swansea was dominating the game. Chelsea was lucky to take a point.

Manchester United had a great start of the season. With the best game against Arsenal at home. But they lost 2 of the last 6 matches, against Liverpool and Newcastle, which made them lose track of Man City.
At the moment they have the same amount of points as Man City. City playes at home against Fulham, they haven't lost a match at home, so we can expect they win. So it's really important for Manchester United to win this game.

Stats:
Chelsea games: 61% over 2.5 (14-9)
Manchester United games: 57% over 2.5 (13-10)
Last six matches Chelsea: 2 matches over 2.5
Last six matches Man United: 5 matches over 2.5

I will also play an over 2.5 here. I think the odds are pretty good and I think their will be lots of goals.

Manchester United is doing very well to mantain the same distance with the leader of Premier League, Manchester City. It would be really difficult to mantain the same difference but the Red Devils team is doing very well at the moment to suprise us with their performance in Premier League. In this weekend they play against Chelsea that is also trying really hard in this season despite that not for Premier League title but for a place in Champions League.

Chelsea is actually in the 4th position in Premier League with 41 points from 22 matches that they had done in this season and at the moment is five points ahead from Arsenal that is trying really hard also to get a place in Champions League by leaving Chelsea behind. Manchester United is doing very well in the 2nd position with 51 points from 22 matches that this team does have at the moment despite that stands three points behind from Manchester City that is leading the league quite calm.

Manchester United need to play in this match without some key players like Nemanja Vidic, Tom Cleverley and Darren Fletcher while other missings for them are Ritchie De Laet and Michael Owen. Chelsea seems to be without Didier Drogba as he is in international duty at African Cup.

Manchester United is not in condition to lose points in Premier League at the moment since than Manchester City would have it even more easier to create more difference with them while for Chelsea is completely different situation since this team is not looking forward to something at the moment since league title is to far for them while Champions League is almost in their pocket at the moment. In this situation I believe that Manchester United would be able to secure a positive result in this tough match and i'm covering it with handicap.

It's clear that at this moment Chelsea is not for the same level with the teams from Manchester, United and City and for sure this season home team will have to settle with the 4th place and hope that Arsenal London and Liverpool will have more slips then them.
Plus even playing on Stamford Bridge, it seems that Chelsea doesn't have a strong advantage as had several problems this season to impose against weaker sides then United: Aston Villa, Liverpool, Arsenal and Fulham won or draw against them.
Not to mention the fact that Manchester United has won away from home more points then Chelsea has won at home.
The attack is the weakest department for home side because Drogba is on duty in Africa, Fernando Torres up front no team is able to be dangerous as the Spanish seems to have the weakest moment of his career (12 consecutive Premier League matches played without scoring) while the others are too young and inexperienced like Lukaku and Sturridge and on top of that will miss John Terry and A. Cole from defensive.
Andre Villas-Boas’ team should be happy with a draw here witch I doubt will get it since struggled in last round even too newly promoted, Swansea.

Big game in the english premier league for both these sides, United need to win to stay on the heels of City and Chelsea will be looking for points to keep in touch with the CL spots and i believe we should see both sides find the back of the net tonight.

United come into the gamme in some form and with Rooney and Nani back after injuries today i see united taking all three points against a Chelsea struggling right now.

Chelsea will also be looking for a solid performance but they have flopped in big games this far this season and i expect Fergies boys to exploit this weeknesses today.

I expect a really close game with 2 offensive playing teams.
Nevertheless I think we will not see many corner kicks in the game, because usually there are not many corners in England as I have noticed. Manchester United for Example has played versus Arsenal in their last away game. Only 5 corners were fallen in that game.
By looking at the head to head, we see that Manchester United was the better team in the last few years. Chelsea lost almost every time.

Because the odds for the Under 10.5 corners in the game at this bookie are really high in comparisson to other bookmakers, I am also pretty sure that this bet has a lot of value for this odd. So this is why I put quite a bit money on this bet.
Good luck.

Man Utd are great value for the win here in my opinion. With Manchester City playing on the Saturday,regardless of what they do it will only drive United on for a win at Stamford Bridge.Chelsea came away from Swansea midweek with a some what lucky point.Ashley Cole will be suspended for this match and they don't have a suitable left back to replace him.With Valencia and Rafael on the right i fully expect United to exploit this area.With Terry injured midweek,Luiz and Boswinga are accidents waiting to happen.Chelsea are struggling at the back.Ramires and Mikel will also be missing for this match and Essien isn't fully fit yet. United dominated against a stubborn Stoke and found it hard to break them down.However Chelsea won't be sticking 10 men behind the ball and they will have a go. Both teams normally play a 4-3-3 in this fixture and if this is the case then expect United to dominate possesion against Romeu and Meireles. Mata is the only danger to United.Torres is not the player he once was. All the facts point for a United victory.

Chelsea are in a transitional period and thus have looked very unconvincing in most of their games over the past few months, in my view. There’s no doubting the quality of their personnel, nor the ability of their manager, but the fact is that it takes time to alter the way a team plays and to amend the personnel that are selected to enforce it. Villas-Boas has a lot of work to do here behind the scenes and Chelsea’s lack of cohesion over the months proves that. I’m sure they will be back to their best in due course but I’d be surprised to see it happen this season.

For today’s game, Chelsea have two big absentees – Cole and Terry. Cole’s absence means that Chelsea have to put someone in to cover him. It doesn’t sound too bad until you realise that Chelsea are facing arguably the most in-form right winger in British football right now in Antonio Valencia so Chelsea are in for a rough ride in that aspect. Terry’s absence leaves Chelsea with a lack of leadership at the back and Ivanovic tends to buckle under the pressure if he’s the mainstay defender but what other choice do they have? Cahill is not really ready to dominate this Chelsea defence although it does look more and more likely that he’ll be playing here. All in all, Chelsea’s defence will be somewhat unfamiliar at best and with the growing murmurs amongst fans of the lack of faith in goalkeeper Cech, I think we realistically have to expect Chelsea to concede goals here.

The good news for Chelsea is that they have Essien back, who is easily the best central midfielder in the world for my money. They really, really miss him when he doesn’t play and he loves to show up in the big games so I’m sure we’ll see him today. His return should help them with a bit of authority in their ranks given that Drogba is still in Africa. That solves one problem but Chelsea are not scoring goals right now and with a lessening number of options, it’s hard to see Chelsea winning this one.

United have injury problems of their own but as ever, wily Ferguson is keeping everyone guessing as to how many of the listed players are injured and when they’ll be back. The players in question are Rooney, Nani, Young, Cleverley, and De Gea. Personally, I think they’ll all be fit for this one although I’ll be surprised – and disappointed – to see Young feature here. He was disappointing before his injury and has been out for some time so I think there’ll be better games for him to return in. The rest, though – they should feature, especially as Cleverley was supposed to be back against Liverpool last week if we track back to Fergie’s initial comments regarding the return of the playmaker.

Not many are acknowledging it but the fact is that young Tom Cleverley is rapidly becoming an essential part of the “new look” United as they look to emulate the Barcelona passing style. His absence for United this season has been a much bigger blow than most realise and I think we’ll only see that in its truest form when he returns. Another arising star is Welbeck and as a United fan I have no doubt in my mind that he has been United’s best striker this season. Rooney has been hit-and-miss but Welbeck consistently delivers a good, enthusiastic, and incisive display, which you can’t always say for Rooney. United have a lot of depth, which helps as a lot of players are still out, even if we exclude the above list. They should have a stronger starting eleven today than Chelsea, though, and that counts a lot here, in my view.

Games between Chelsea and United are always tight at Stamford Bridge. I’d probably be called biased if I said that United have deserved to win at least three out of their last four away games against Chelsea but those are genuinely my thoughts. I think this Chelsea side is vulnerable and a composed and determined United display should be enough to see the visitors take all the points in this game. For me, this is a clear away win. Good Luck :)
