Chelsea v Manchester United Match Preview 2008/09

It is only a few hours until the massive match between Manchester United and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, if United loose then we will be 9 points behind Chelsea with a game in hand but if we win then we will be then United will have 7 points, three behind Chelsea with a game against Fulham in hand.

I would love to say that Manchester United can win at Chelsea but with the lack of goals we have been getting and the confidence of Chelsea then the most I am expecting is a draw.

Cristiano Ronaldo could start alongside Dimitar Berbatov for United but I would like to see Ronaldo back in midfield with Tevez/Rooney upfront with Berbatov.
Nemanja Vidic is suspended after receiving two yellow cards against Liverpool last weekend.

John Terry is available for Chelsea after having his red card rescinded, which I think we all knew would happen, what with it being England and Chelsea captain John Terry.

Sir Alex Ferguson (on Cristiano Ronaldo):
"Cristiano is nibbling in my ear all the time. He is bursting to play,"
"The boy was on fire on Wednesday. He was revved up to do really well.
"When you think he has had an operation, has been in rehab for two months and had not played since May 21. It was a big ask for him.
"But you have to say his performance level was outstanding. He has trained very well and is a natural athlete, so I have no qualms on that score. I just have to decide whether it is the right time."
