It's nice that the international break is over as the games come thick and fast now! We have Shakhtar on Tuesday followed by the visit of United. How do we see this one going? We also have them in the League cup a few days later! I honestly think we have a great chance against United on Sunday. Their defense hasn't been great this season while our trio of Hazard, Mata and Oscar are doing very well thus I believe it will be a high scoring game! I think it will be another great game between these two sides. Last season it was heartbreaking at the Bridge as United came back from 3-0 down and fairl play to them but I have a sneaky feeling that we will come away with the 3 points on Sunday and show that we really are title contenders! What a match it promises to be!
I think VP is going to give Cahill and Luiz hell. But we're more than capable of bettering what they do at the other end, I predict 3-2 Chelsea. Are you going Bucks? I shall be attending both United games next week, 6 loyalty points for the pair!
United have a soft centre themselves. Mata, Hazard and Oscar will be salivating to get a run at Ferdinand and co.
I think both these games will be choc full with goals and I think well get more than MU! For me, I want to see us do battle to ensure we come out best in the PL fixture. I'd like to see us dispatch them in the plastic cup as well , but I wont lose any sleep if we dont!
if you offered us a point think we would snap your hand off for it, but if both teams deadly trios and on song on the day this could be a cracker of a game.
Fancy 2-2 / 3-2 either way hopefully we manage to edge it would be a great win and send a real message ! Don't care less about the carling cup game tbh i'd take a battering if it meant 3 points in the league one
I predict the same scoreline. I think it will be a game with bags of goals and the same can be said fr most of our games this season. No I'm not going to either of them unfortunately mate. I'm a student at Leeds Uni so it's a bit of a trek. My old man is going to both of them and using the season tickets for the league game and we got the cup tickets. My next ones are Swansea away, Liverpool home and WBA away. So far I've done all the away games and none of the home ones! You should have a great time though. You done any away games or plan on doing away ones?
I think all your fans would say the same tbh. Chelsea v United is always a cracking game and is one of the biggest games of the season but this one has the potential to be very special and the game of the season.
Can't wait for Utd, but as always with them ,it will be very tough. For whatever reason, Utd always play at their top against us, and I don't see this being any different. Not worried about Cahill and Luiz, they will play as they did in the CL finals. As we showed against Spurs, we can take a bit of hammering and still lift Robbie has the new boys playing like the Chelsea of Jose, full of grit and determination, never say die. We are very much a team now and play for each other. Results ??? Anyones guess, but I think we will win one and draw one.
I really think we can win this game, however Cech and co are going to be called on a lot no doubt. The only thing which makes me think we will win is the fact United feel a lot weaker at the back than we do. Hope I'm not wrong about that because I reckon that will decide it. If we can keep control in the midfield that should let us dominate. As long as that ball stays away from their front 3 we should come away with the points. It's going to be a top game nevertheless.
If that happens Purley, then the whole pub will get a drink on me(including a couple of Mancs that use it)
I'm going to both games and I think we will lose on Sunday. RVP will kill us as he always does. His goal against Stoke just frightens me. He can score from any angle as his mind is already made up unlike Torres!!!!
I hope so.... I wouldn't mind Danny starting against Shakhtar if it meant Torres could be rested for when United come to town....
Don't think there's any way either team will fail to score. United has looked weak at the back, but Rooney and Van Persie are starting to click, as is Welbeck. You might not rate Welbeck, but he's versatile and allows Rooney and Van Persie to drift out wide and deeper more freely. Im not sure if any team could keep you from scoring at the moment. I predict a high scoring draw like a 3-3.
