Well another exciting weekend for the two big guns, the first time they will meet after their Champions League clash and it is certain to entertain!
Man U have had a lot of tough games recently, in fact their first 10 games are against the top 10 teams in the league, they have had the hardest start to deal with compared to the other 3, and after a disappointing week they really need a result here.
Chelsea are going in the game with extreme confidence, they haven’t really been challenged yet, unless you call Man City a challenge, but they have managed to mop up the little teams with ease, a thing they haven’t been able to do in the past. Confidence wise, Chelsea will definitely be on a high, however they could face a United backlash.
The Teams
Well Chelsea’s team may be a bit of a surprise on this occasion, I don’t think Scolari will go for his two wing forwards and play a 4-3-3, I think it will be Anelka with Cole playing just off him on the right, and Lampard left centre, and a midfield of Deco, Mikel, and Ballack. If he does play this team it is one scary line up! (the usual defence)
However, a great line-up it may be, United have its full force bar Vidic, a Berbatov Tevez strike force, Rooney on the left, Ronaldo on the right, Scholes and Carrick in the centre. Look at United’s bench, Giggs, Anderson, Nani, Hargreaves, all players that can impact a game, Chelsea’s bench just as frightening, Drogba, Malouda, and their impactful Brazilian defender Alex.
The game is questionable, will it be a stalemate like we have seen in the past years, a boring 1-1 draw, thank God the Champions League final was really good to watch, otherwise the whole world would complain how boring English football would be, but on that day Chelsea were slightly better, and when they click they look good, the only team in the world I can think that clicks as well as Chelsea is United, so I predict an exciting game with lots of hot air and tension, with United going for the win, and Chelsea going for a thrashing!!
Please leave your thoughts on the game!
