Chelsea vs. Manchester United

The two candidates to win the league title face each other for the first time this season, today, at Stamford Bridge. Needless to say that both Chelsea and Manchester United need this win from the obvious reasons. Chelsea would like the win as it would be a sweet revenge, while in the same time – making a clear statement. At the same time, Manchester United have to win if… well, they have no other choice after the mediocre start of the season.
Chelsea have made an excellent start to the season under new manager Luiz Felipe Scolari. As a result of their good form they have won 10 out of possible 12 points, including an impressive 3-1 away win over Manchester City. Their good form brought some good results off the pitch, as the tribunal accepted John Terry’s appeal and he will be eligible for the match.
On the other side of the pitch Manchester United are lying in 15th place with only 4 points. Things aren’t looking so good at Old Trafford at the moment. Dimitar Berbatov is finding it hard to blend in and during this period of time, The Red Devils lost at Anfield and finished their first European match of the season with a dull 0-0 home draw. Furthermore their Centre Back Vidic, who got sent off in their last match, will not be playing as he, unlike Terry, had no chance even to appeal.
So this leaves us with Rolando… He’s got the talent, but it will be interesting to see him after the collapse of his transfer to Real Madrid and the minor operation he had. He will most probably be man-marked by Scolari, who sure knows how to deal with him…
