The Blues' only absentee is right-back Jose Bosingwa, who may require surgery to treat his knee problem. Man Utd will again be without Rio Ferdinand, with boss Sir Alex Ferguson worried that the defender's calf injury may be related to a lower back problem. Nemanja Vidic (calf) should be fit to face the Blues, but Gary Neville sits out the match through suspension. Chelsea Cech, Hilario, Ivanovic, Carvalho, Terry, Alex, A. Cole, Belletti, J. Cole, Ballack, Lampard, Deco, Obi, Essien, Kalou, Malouda, Drogba, Anelka, Lampard, Sturridge, Ferreira, Zhirkov.

MOST RECENT MEETING Chelsea 2-2 Man Utd (Chelsea won 4-1 pens), 9 August 2009 Skysports.com predictions: Chelsea 1-1 Man Utd One to watch: Didier Drogba Lawro's predictions Chelsea 2-1 United United are struggling defensively and are dealing with a few injuries, while everybody have been impressed with Chelsea. Most teams have their blips but I just don't see where they will be coming from with Carlo Ancelotti's men. The squad at Stamford Bridge seem to be a much happier and fitter bunch and move the ball around much quicker than they used to which may well prove too much even for United. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/8343319.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8344421.stm http://www.skysports.com/football/match_preview/0,19764,11065_3162395,00.html -- ★ ╔╦═╮╔╮ ╭╔╮ ╭╔╦═╮ ╔╮╔╮╭╦═╮╔╮═╮ ☆ ☆ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║╠╣ ║╠╣ ║ ╠╣╠╣╠╬═╣╠╣ ║ ★ ★ ╰╝╰╯╰╝═╯╰╝═╯╚╯═╯ ╰╰╯╯╰╝ ╰╰╝ ╰ ☆ ☆ SCORING MACHINE︰ Ruud van Nistelrooy ★ ╔╮═╮╭╦╦╮╭╦═╮╭╦╦╮╔╦═╮╔╮ ╔╦═╮╭╦═╭═╦╮╮ ╔╮ ╠╣ ║ ╠╣ ╚╩╦╮ ╠╣ ╠╬╣ ╠╣ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║ ╠╣╚═╬╣ ╰╝ ╰╰╩╩╯╰═╩╝ ╚╝ ╚╩═╯╰╩═╯╰╝╰╯╰╩═╯═╩╯╰═╩╝ --
