-V-

Sunday 8th Nov. Stamford Bridge KO 16.00

Top of the table clash and a chance for Chelsea to go 5 points clear of United. I am starting this thread too early probably but I'm going to click Submit new thread anyway.

I predict 2-0 Chelsea.

Based on what i've seen from both clubs so far this season i'm expecting a Chelsea win, but i was also expecting Man Utd to beat Liverpool and that didn't happen.

Whatever way it goes, I'm expecting a big game from Drogba.

Boggles · 05-11-2009 12:57PM

1-1

Evil_Clown · 05-11-2009 12:57PM

Draw Please

Paleface · 05-11-2009 01:01PM

Chelsea will win this one. Drogba to cause United's central defence all sorts of problems.

ROCKMAN · 05-11-2009 01:10PM

Only 76 hrs to kick off and no sign off teams yet :eek:
I'll take a score draw right now.

Deal

Chelsea - 3
Drogba 32" + 44"
Anelka 82"

Man United - 1
Rooney 61"(pen)
Scholes s/o 87"

........Or something to that effect

CHD · 05-11-2009 01:24PM

Was waiting for you to predict Scholes getting sent off.

Daysha · 05-11-2009 01:24PM

A draw would do very nicely here. My team...

VDS

O'Shea---Ferdinand

Vidic

Evra

Fletcher---Anderson---Giggs

Valencia

Rooney

Berbatov

PHB · 05-11-2009 01:29PM

It's a bigger game for United. Chelsea have step the tempo this year. United haven't been at their best. Ferdinand is out which is a big loss. Fletcher being back though is huge.

If we lose this, we go 5 points behind. Huge huge game.

I expect

VDS

--O'Shea

Evans

Vidic

Evra---
--Valencia--Anderson--Fletcher--Nani----

Berbatov---Rooney

Although the Nani position is up for grabs. Could easily see us putting Carrick in there and putting Rooney on the left.

Mr Alan · 05-11-2009 01:30PM

Expect Chelsea to win this if both teams form is anything to go by.

Yeah, actually I'm going to pretend to hope for a draw then Sunday should be sweeter

Johner · 05-11-2009 01:48PM

Going on form we should win, but these games dont go on form. I have a feeling it will be a draw 1-1. But if we score early I'll say 2-0 Chelsea with Snoop Drog getting both.

Frisbee · 05-11-2009 01:50PM

I reckon Chelsea should win this handily enough

2-0

CCCP^ · 05-11-2009 01:56PM

2-0 to Chelsea, not convinced at all by United this season at all.

Mitch Connor · 05-11-2009 01:56PM

Chelsea are clear favourites for this imo.

Would be delighted with a deserved draw on Sunday.

I reckon it will be a 451 formation, with question marks over whether Berbatov, Carrick or Giggs play (Rooney out wide, or through the middle)

Jagera · 05-11-2009 01:59PM

Chelsea looking pretty good at the moment. Man U not looking at their best.

The last time I recall this scenario was in 2005, Chelsea going to Old Trafford. I remember everyone saying ManU were in for a defeat.

Fletcher scored the only goal..

This should be a cracking game, and I'll miss it because I'm on a flipping flight.

Dancor · 05-11-2009 02:20PM

2-0 to United.

JP Liz · 05-11-2009 02:46PM

2 - 1 to MU

United were at home in that game though. Chelsea should be too strong at home this time around if form is anything to go by.

kenon · 05-11-2009 03:37PM

I'm hoping the way Chelsea are playing will scare United into playing as well as they possibly can right from the start rather than playing crap from the start, play well for a bit, play crap again, then raise their game for the rest of the match and having to scrape a result.

2-1 united.

being at home doesn't make much difference. Form book goes out the window. United to win 1-0. Drogba to be sent off.
