MAN UTD TO BEAT CHELSEA

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.
