Stamford Bridge will be the venue for the 2nd top of the table clash in a row for Manchester united.United are currently in Pole position to regain the Premier league crown that they lost to Chelsea last season.Now United have extra motivation to earn a win @ the bridge & give their manager a memorable two days,as the Manchester united Head boss has passed Sir Matt Busby's record of being maximum time @ the helm of the theatre of dreams!
Manchester united go into the match in high spirits.Unbeaten in the league for a club record 16 league matches.They are two points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand over all the their nearest rivals.A win over Chelsea would give them a six points lead with a game in hand which in turn could mean a nine point lead coz the game in hand is against Blackpool!Only a fool would bet against them in the that match!United are slowly getting into top gear this season & this has coincided with Anderson returning to the team & hitting the ground running!He has been in sparkling form since returing from injury.His best is yet to come in the United colours & justify the hefty fee he commanded for his move from Porto.And it is encouraging to see that the club is taking his sparking form into perspective & tying him down to united with a long term contract.The games he has featured in he has formed a great partnership with Nani.Both are young & flamboyant players & both will look to enhance their reputation in this high profile game!But Sir Alex may yet remove a Rabbit out of the hat by playing Giggs in the centre of midfield like he did a couple of seasons ago @ old trafford.Giggs though a natural winger has evolved over the years and 2day he can play anywhere in the midfield.Infact you tend to think that he enjoys the extra responsibility that comes with playing in the centre of the midfield.He has a calming influence over all the young players in the dressing room who look upto him.Rio ferdinad & Nemanja Vidic look all set to replicate the form that saw united winn three consecutive premier leagues with the meanest defence in the land.You could sense the optimissim around old trafford due to the current lot of terrific results.There is strong feeling that elusive 'Top flight' title no.19 may be coming to Old Trafford 2 the end of the season!
Meanwhile currently optimisim is to Chelsea what Common sense is to New Castle!Absolutely no relation!Chelsea are currently in the worst form since the begining of the Roman Abrahimovich era.No win in seven is a form of a relegation threatented team not a team aspiring to be the champions!Chelsea's team depth has been found totally wanting this season.Ancelotti believed that he had two players per position for the back four.But Jeffery Bruma's ineffectiveness @ the back with long term absences for John Terry & Alex has hindered their progress.The Chelsea board's decision to let Ricardo Cavarlho go off to Real looks a real disaster @ the current moment.But the real problem Chelsea has faced is the prolonged absence of their talisman & consistent goalscorer Frank Lampard.Frank Lampard may not have set the Premier league on fire in any season but his continous hauls of 20 goals plus have been a gr8 helping hand in the Chelsea's domination in the Roman Abrahimovich era!Chelsea will be looking upto him in the match against United to provide the firepower in an attack,which has gone from devasting @ the start of the season to teethless currently,before u can say 'Chelsea'.They also need Drogba to fire,there is notion around the footballing fraternity that if Drogba plays well then the whole team plays well.The Blues will be counting on him...
Tomorrow is a classic in store for all football lover.Its the mordern day 'Clash of the Titans'.Speaking of 'Clash of the titans',Arsenal again drew Barca in the Champions league round of 16.Arsenal have got no one but themselves to blame but themselves for the position they are in.After three games in the group stages Arsenal looked home & dry with a perfect 9 points & a 6-0 demolition job of Shaktar but then they threw it all away in Characteristic Arsenal style & barely qualified by their skin of their neck in the last game of the fgroup stages.But in hindsight if they dispose of Barca they will be on tremendous high & may be everyone favourite to win it all.Other than that only other Marque game is Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich.Rematch of last years Champions league final!Its a game between two teams in decline & not expected to produce any sort of a spectacle as did they Champions league Final where mourinho totally outclassed Van Gall.Other than that all the European Big Guns have a stroll in the Park!
Have a terrific weekend!
May the best team win!
GGMU!
