Given how utd are playing at the moment id expect a loss here. Overall quality of our team is poor compared to Chelsea and over 90mins + that became apparent in both league and fa cup matches this season.
Yep, not sure I'm looking forward to it though
We really needed to keep our momentum going but that utterly woeful performance yesterday blew that. The atmosphere v Wham was great and that definitely helped the team but I think it might be a bit edgy again after yesterday.
Hopefully Mata's fit as we're going to need him and Hazard to be at their best if we're going to outscore them as I can't see a dull 0-0 or similar what with the way both teams defend.

Well probably score 1 in the first half then suffer from second half collapse as per this season, far too often we've been absolutely terrible in the second half of matches, still bewilders me how we're running away with this title.
Because none of the other teams can seem to get any sort of consistency going. City are a prime example of this, with all the players they have...they should in theory be winning the EPL title again but they have a clueless manager. Put a Mourinho or a Fergie type of manager there and they will win plenty more EPL titles imho.
This season has got to be Utds easiest EPL title win in a very long time.

Utd look knackered, but to be fair so do most of the other teams at the moment. We need a winter break badly. I couldn't give a **** about football in December.
Didn't work for Rooney, he gets a nice rest and then the world is saying he's crap when he's not playing all the time. More than 2 weeks off and Fergie is quick to tell you he needs games to get sharp again
It's ajust another media myth that English players need a winter break and that's why we are crap internationally. We are crap because the players no longer care about international football, they don't play regularly as a unit and it get's in the way of their summer holiday.
If they want a rest just stop bothering with International football.
I think we'll lose today.
The team have really no desire bar a few players, it feels as if the season is done for them after that CL exit and we're just trundling by in the league, which is a great shame.
I hope we come out of the blocks and go at Chelsea, and that Hernandez starts to get his customary goal vs them. But unfortunately I think we'll see a dull line up from us and a poor performance leading to an exit.

The pessimistic buildup predictions have started, huh?
Is anyone ever optimistic before a 'big' game?!
The baiting has started then, huh
?I'm generally pretty optimistic of us beating anyone, but the players haven't performed lately at all and have just looked lethargic and unbothered so it gives a suggestion that it'll continue in that manner.
Chelsea will be confident they can take us considering how they came back into the previous game.

Exactly. Concentrate on the Mickey Mouse European cup instead, you might actually win that one.... unlikely but at least you've got a chance
How mickey mouse is this tournament if two teams beat us in it? That was after we got knocked out if the big cup by a bunch of so called 'Micky mouse' teams. Just last year as it happens.

It could go either way. Both teams have been a bit sloppy at times at the back. On the day anything can happen. I expect Hazard and Mata to be obvious threats though.
Fergie's handed the tie to Chelsea, no Rooney or RVP for us
I had a sneaking feeling Chelsea would go through, but more of a feeling after hearing this!
Really strange call considering that the EPL is already wrapped up for ManU.

Unless Fergie thinks a win will rub it in to Chelsea and prove something I really don't understand that team.
