United v Chelsea Old Trafford Sunday, 26 November Kick-off: 1600 GMT Manchester United have no new injury worries ahead of the top-of-the-table clash with champions Chelsea. Rio Ferdinand had been a doubt after picking up a foot injury but has been passed fit, while Patrice Evra could come in for left-back Gabriel Heinze. Chelsea should have top scorer Didier Drogba (ankle) and midfielder Michael Ballack available after slight knocks. Frank Lampard returns to the squad and Ricardo Carvalho (ankle) has recovered, but Salomon Kalou is still sidelined. Man Utd (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Neville, O'Shea, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Silvestre, Heinze, Evra, Ronaldo, Fletcher, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Richardson, Rooney, Saha, Smith. Chelsea (from): Cudicini, Hilario, Ferreira, Geremi, Terry, Carvalho, Boulahrouz, Bridge, A Cole, Lampard, Essien, Ballack, Makelele, Drogba, Robben, Shevchenko, Wright-Phillips, J Cole, Diarra, Mikel. |

I don't believe we'll be able to grind out as many 1-0 wins as Chelsea between now and May so for me we need to get 6 points off them in the head-to-heads. If we beat them home and away we'll win the league, if we don't we won't.
We should get out and attack them with our strongest side in a 4-4-2. |

I didn't predict we'd lose against Arsenal. We did. Since then I'm adopting the reverse psychology approach. Apart from Celtic it's worked ok so far. |

Chelsea play with a very tight four man midfield. This will leave plenty of space on the flanks for Giggs and Ronaldo to exploit. With Evra and Nevile bombing forward, we should be able to get 2 on 1 with their full backs. There's little point playing an extra man in CM and getting drawn into a midfield battle. That's playing straight into the rent boys hands and will lead to a United defeat.
442, same team as the one in Parkhead (minus Henzie) and play as we have at Bolton, Blackburn etc this season. If we do, we can win. If not, we'll loose. Also, with our much smaller squad and the number of games over the christmas/new year period, we'll definately need a 6 point gap because I'm sure we'll drop more points then chelsea over that period COME ON UNITED!!! |

Roniie and Giigs have been great so far. Hopefully, this is the type of game that'll help Rooney hit top form again. |
