It will either be a narrow Chelsea win or a draw.

[Mastermind`]

Confirmed Man Utd line up: VDS, Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Park, Carrick, Giggs, Valencia, Hernandez, Rooney
Subs: Kuszczak, Evans, Smalling, Nani, Gibson, Scholes, Berbatov

Rio back in there which hopefully means the defence should be a bit more stable. No Nani, though. I think Valencia is better defensively, Nani will come on later. Great to see Hernandez start, worried about the midfield.

[doggyfizzel]

I think Nani may have been left out to cover a potential Rooney ban in the league. With Rooney on form Nani's creativity isn't so important. Nice to see Rafael back, see if he can stay on the pitch this game

[Lizzzle]

Rafa and Ferdinand back? :O

Scholes and Nani to come on later?

[ma2k5]

lol at everyone who thinks torres can actually score a goal

Anyway, hoping for a chelsea win at SB.

[Troubled_Student]

I'm saying a narrow win for Chelsea (2-1) or a draw (1-1). I can also see Torres scoring - It's gotta come soon surely?
Can't see it being the greatest of games though, I expect really cautious football.

[Budgie]

Is Nani still unfit from his injury? He's been one of (if not the) best player in the team this season and now that's twice in a row he's been left out.

[gt-ere]

So both Drogba and Torres will start, at least one of them has to score a goal.

Chelsea 2-0

[doggyfizzel]

Yeah Torres isn't on form but he didn't suddenly become retarded he will score soon, I think him and Drogba is a good combo for Chelsea, Rio and Vidic will need to boss in the air tonight.

3-1 Chelsea.

Terry, Drogba, and Torres for Chelsea. Shrek for Utd.

This! But swapping terry for Lampard.

[Aky786UK]

Valencia is the right option IMO. Last season at the Bridge, he did really well defensively and although Nani has been excellent this season, he's better to come off the bench if we need abit of attacking fervour. Good news about Rio, am guessing he'll play tonight and if comes through unscathed, be rested for the Fulham game. A tight game I'm predicting, a scoredraw, a 1-0 to someone or a 2-1 to Chelsea.

[gt-ere]

So according to BBC the final lineups:

Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Essien, Lampard, Zhirkov, Drogba, Torres.
Subs: Turnbull, Benayoun, Mikel, Malouda, Ferreira, Kalou, Anelka.

Man Utd: Van der Sar, Rafael Da Silva, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Giggs, Park, Hernandez, Rooney.
Subs: Kuszczak, Berbatov, Smalling, Nani, Scholes, Evans, Gibson.

[doggyfizzel]

Surely United can find something against the back 4, I wouldn't be confident if I were a Chelsea fan. Not that United's is much safer, 1/2 had a shocking last game, other 1/2 back from injury

[aaaaaa]

even though i don't support either of these teams i'm looking forward to this; i just hope both teams score so my bet comes in

[Yawn-er]

yayzhirkov. malouda is ****e. i hope he does well tonight. fingers crossed.

[Mr Incognito]

I like the look that United line up
Gonna stick my neck on the line and say United win.

[allroader192]

Everybody's going on about Nani, Rooney, Torres, Drogba but don't forget that we've got ChicharitOOO

[Akkuz]

Chicarito hat-trick is on the menu!

[aaaaaa]

It aint going to be a high scoring game i'll go for 1 all with man united going trough after both legs
