Chelsea vs Manchester United **Match Thread**

Rollsta96 · 05-11-2009, 12:53 AM

Tough One

The punters have Manchester United at 12/5, but their record at the Bridge has been poor since 1999/2000: in 11 meets the Blues have come out on top 6 times and the Red Devils only victorious once with obviously 4 draws.

Recent Results

Manchester United:

Manchester United 3-3 CSKA Moscow

Chelsea:

Atletico Madrid 2-2 Chelsea

Unavailable Players

Manchester United:

Nemanja Vidic (Struggling to be fit)
Rio Ferdinand (Struggling to be fit)
Danny Welbeck (Injured both knees)
Ji-Sung Park (Injured both knees)
Gary Neville (Suspended)

Chelsea

Yuri Zhirkov (Knee injury)

Key Players

Manchester United

Wayne Rooney

He has been in good form in the Premier League for the Red Devils, scoring 7 goals in 10 games.

Antonio Valencia

He has looked lively in his past couple of games, and he scored against CSKA Moscow.

Chelsea

Didier Drogba

Drogba scored against Atletico and has looked good of late he and Anelka work well together and I think he could score a few goals at least.

Frank Lampard

Scored his first goal in a long time, and I think he will lift for one of the biggest matches of this season.

I tip a draw, 2-2.

Thought you supported Arsenal.

fitz15 · 05-11-2009, 01:09 AM

Not overly confident about this one if im honest.
Would definitely take a draw if i was offered it now.

Still have some hope of a Berbatov brace in a 2-0 win!

No, I support Sheffield United. They do suck right now though.

and I'd rather see Chelsea win the Prem than Man Utd, Chelsea being the only other side that's likely to pull it off so I'd rather them win the big games

On the Man U website, it says that he may return so, you might be right.

I think you should want Chelsea to lose to us then Arsenal will have more chance of going above Chelsea and you might see Fabregas lift the trophy.

Ideally, yes, but common sense tells me that won't be happening any time soon unfortunately.

On a serious note, I bet his kid is one of the ugliest babies on the planet.
