Chelsea, the holders have dominated this competition in recent times, winning 4 times in the last 6 years, however they are having a poor season and this year it represents Benitez's only realistic chance of taking a trophy away from his horrific spell at Stanford Bridge. Team News Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to make a number of changes to the side that lost to Real Madrid on Tuesday, with Wayne Rooney â surprisingly dropped against Real Madrid â expected to come back into the starting XI. Chris Smalling has started all of Manchester Unitedâs FA Cup matches this campaign, and could partner Jonny Evans in the centre of defence. Antonio Valencia, Anderson and, hat-trick hero against Norwich, Shinji Kagawa should also all return to the side. Phil Jones (ankle) remains sidelined, while Paul Scholes (knee) is a doubt for the match. Midfield enforcer Darren Fletcher (illness) is out for the remainder of the season. Rafa Benitez left Juan Mata on the bench in the Europa League last 16 match against Steaua Bucharest on Thursday, while Demba Ba was ineligible, but both are expected to start against United. Chelseaâs only injury worry is Oriol Romeu (knee), a long-term absentee, while Ashley Cole could return to the side after being rested in Romania. Club captain John Terry has started all of the Bluesâ FA Cup ties since returning to full fitness and chould partner Gary Cahill, another player rested against Steaua, with David Luiz and Branislav Ivanovic dropping to the bench. ScorePrediction 2-1
On curren for we should win comfortably, but I vaguely expect this to be the only time Chelsea play well under Rafa.
Who's idea was it to have the 2 TV games clashing? They could of had 1 of them at 1.30. Anyways I can see us winning this one comfortable 3-1 or 4-1
indeed great start, we could had been 3 or 4 now hhh can't hide my enjoyment of what Rafa is receiving , his decision to join chelsea turn out to be the best punishment that this twat deserve, couldn't ask for more humiliation
