Man Utd v Chelsea

Man Utd taking on Chelsea is undoubtedly the biggest game this weekend. Crucial tie for Chelsea particularly as they have to win to avoid slipping further.

Wouldn't know if there are any injury reports from both sides. Post your predictions on the match.

For me, I think Man Utd will come away with a 1-0 win but I hope the final result is a draw.

i think it is more crucial for Man Utd to win .....even though they have 2 games in hand a loss against Chelsea would mean Man Utd falling 11 pts behind Liverpool ....presuming they win at Stoke of course ...

a draw would not suit either team really....but i think it will be a draw .

Man Utd 2-0 Chelsea.

I am also going to go for a United victory, 2-1. Berbatov with both the goals.

It depends on the line ups rally.
If Chelsea can filed Kalou and Malouda it will very key to them winning both players especially Malouda are important in games like this even though over their careers with Chelsea Kalou has been the better performer overall. I just think Malouda brings a certain level of intensity that is needed up front to trouble the defense which Joe Cole has proven big game after big game he cannot do. I think Kalou has the skill to unlock the Man u defense better than both previously mentioned on the other side of the field.
If they play J.Cole they may as well play with 10 men because he will offer nothing to Chelsea attack,and if it only takes one defender to stop him easily which is the case here he's worthless. At least with Malouda and Kalou they will need the attention of two defenders just in case they beat the first one which they have the ability to do,more so Kalou.
I see Chelsea winning 2-1 or a draw 1-1.

Manutd 1 - Chelsea 1

3-0

Can't see Chelsea getting anything unfortunately. Scolari seems useless in the big games as it is, let alone the fact their form has dropped considerably since two months ago and confidence has to be low. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a defining game which saw United spring into life, as they've been dour so far.

Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea.

Chelsea have been good away from home and haven't conceded many goals.

However I'm going for Man U 1-1 Chelsea

That's my feeling right there.

Am I the only one who thinks that Chelsea has a chance?.. 1-0. Drogba

I think Chelsea's good away form owes a large part to the opposition they've faced:

Wigan Athletic
Man City
Stoke City
Middlesbrough
Hull City
Blackburn Rovers
West Brom
Bolton Wanderers
Everton
Fulham

Compare that to their home games and there's a visible difference.

However who else has got these results away from home?

1-1.. man utd have struggled in the big games, and this is one!
i can see the disapointment continuing

Depends how these teams go at the game. If Chelsea play it with one up front, which is likely, then I can see Sir Alex bowing to the pressure of their midfield and almost matching up. If that's the case then we could be in for another typical top Premier League clash of playing it safe and second guessing... Oh joy I'm sick of seeing teams do that in this league.

Regardless, I have a cheeky bet on this game and I will say 2-1 to United.

No-one, but Liverpool have travelled to Stamford Bridge, the Emirates, White Hart Lane, Goodison, Villa Park and Eastlands. Man United have travelled to all the same plus Anfield. You wouldn't expect them to have the same results, whereas you would expect Chelsea to do very well from those fixtures.

I'm putting my chips on Chelsea

It very hard to predict the result of the game, Berba holds the key for this game, he and Rooney will make Chelsea defense useless (At least I am hoping so). Want to see Park playing in this match, in the away fixture Chelsea defenders simply outclassed by the work rate of Park.

Tevez exlusion will be be there, he will not be part of this game, dont want to see rafael starting the game leaving the gaps for Chelsea Fullbacks and wingers to walking. Hope to see Neville covering for park and Evra for Ronaldo.

Hope to see normal defence pairing of United, with Rio and Vida at the center of the backline. Scholes and Carrick are to boss the midfield.

For Chelsea its more of dignity on stake rather than points, so expecting a bitter fight, games between Chelsea and United always go down the wire. Hoping to see the similar story yet again unless ref makes a blunder.

I would go for 1-0 or 2-0 for us. Fingures crossed.

ui have chelsea winning if they don't start j.cole 2-1. 1-1 if j.cole plays.

I'll go for a win 2-1 for Manchester.

I can see a close fought game here with Man Utd just coming out on top 1-0
with Berbatov scoring the winning goal maybe deep into the second half.........

I think Scolari should pick both Drogba and Anelka both upfront together if
he wants to win this game and try and be positive and use an attacking formation.

If he only plays one in attack then Ferdinand and Vidic will deal with it with no problem.

But play both strikers and then Man Utds center backs won't have such an easy afternoon.

For Man Utd I can see Berbatov being the key to winning this game if he plays deep behind Rooney.
