It will be interesting to see how Carlo Ancelotti will choose his forwards. My bet is Fernando Torres is and Didier Drogba, but then there is no law that says he can't play Torres, Anelka and Drogba in the same line up and sacrifice one of his defensive midfielders. It’s highly unlikely though.
With so much criticism that has gone towards Torres thus far, irrespective of how many minutes he plays he might redeem himself tonight. Andy Carrol scored 2 important goals for Liverpool last night against City and Suarez has done great for them ever since joining, so definitely the Mersey side doesn’t miss him at all. So, Torres must get on with the programme and start focusing on being a hero again and this is a perfect opportunity for Torres.
Chelsea have played at Old Trafford before so the venue itself is not going to be much of a threat to the ever experienced side of Ancelotti. It’s always a game of tactics and caution when United meets Chelsea, but then this might mean season's end for Ancelotti and his charges as the European trophy is all they are left to really play for.
Call me ambitious, but then I see Chelsea winning 3-0 here. Even if he doesn't start I see Torres breaking his goal drought and scoring a brace turning Old Trafford blue (provided he plays of course.). I see Drogba capping a great performance with a stunner of a goal and Petr Cech sealing a great show with a clean sheet. Ambitious? Yep, but it’s possible.
Wayne Rooney is really fired up, but then he is stoppable and tonight a hero will be made out of someone...
Manchester United 0 - Chelsea 3!
