[EPL] Manchester United 0-1 Chelsea

[ecly_watchaa]

motivasi berlipat saya kira juga gak bakalan membuat tamu akan
mudah ngeraih poin penuh di kandang kita,,,bakal banyak peluang
yg mereka ciptakan tapi bakal banyak pula peluang tersebut jadi
mentah karna terburu-buru dan penghalang laen, UNITED bakal turun
dengan pemain mudanya atau para penghuni bangku cadangan tampil tanpa rasa beban, ini akan menyulitkan mereka...

Yupz....setuju,,bung....pemain2 langganan first team mungkin pikirannya udah ke Asia Tour yg tinggal 2 bulan lagi. Daripada nantinya jadi garing di Old Trafford....mending Opa prioritasin pemain yang jarang tampil n pemain muda.

Preview: United v Chelsea


Form guide: Some fans thought the champions would step off the gas for the rest of the season but they couldn’t have been more wrong. United were well up for the fight against Arsenal last weekend, flying into every challenge during a feisty*1-1 draw that was preceded by a guard of honour. Chelsea are still battling for Champions League qualification as they face the Reds for the fifth time this campaign and will seek at least a repeat of their impressive display at OT in the FA Cup.

Ins and outs: Sir Alex has promised to field his best team out of respect for teams still competing for Champions League places but he is definitely without Danny Welbeck and Ashley Young. Paul Scholes could be among the subs after recovering from a knee problem. Opposite number Rafa Benitez has a virtually fully fit squad with only John Obi Mikel (hip) and Oriol Romeu (knee) unavailable through injury.

Last meeting: Less than 48 hours after securing a pivotal 1-0 win at Sunderland in the league, United headed to Stamford Bridge for a gruelling FA Cup quarter-final replay. Predictably, there were tired legs on show and, as a result, the Reds suffered a slender defeat due to Demba Ba’s fine solitary goal.

Opposition boss: An unpopular appointment with some of Chelsea’s own supporters, Rafa Benitez is now enjoying some success at Stamford Bridge, having guided the Blues into a Europa League final meeting with Benfica, and he picked up the Barclays Manager of the Month award for April. Star midfielder Juan Mata says: “We are trying to finish third and have a chance to win a trophy, so maybe the season will look good for us. That will be because of the job Rafa did.”

Star man: Mata, the diminutive Spaniard who has excelled all campaign, is arguably Chelsea’s most accomplished player and was recently named third in the running for the Football Writers’ Footballer of the Year award. Fleet of foot and slight in shape, the former Valencia star is a ghost-like presence in the final third, floating in the whole between the opposition defence and midfield to wreak havoc. The stats back that up - he’s scored 10 goals and assisted 17 in 35 appearances.

Whistle blower:*Fresh from refereeing Real Madrid v Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, Howard Webb returns to Old Trafford with a sense of de ja vu, having taken charge of the FA Cup meeting between the two teams in March.

Man Utd and Chelsea's overall Barclays Premier League records compare

Apparently strongest team he said

Ferguson Discloses Promise Made to Arsene Wenger

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed he will play the strongest side he can on Sunday evening, when Chelsea visit Old Trafford for a Premier League tie. Manchester United have already confirmed a record 20th league crown but the Blues have yet to confirm their place in the Champions League next year and three points from this match will go a long way in achieving the target.

However, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are separated by two points in the three-way race for a top four finish, meaning that a win for United in this could hand Arsene Wenger a huge advantage in the final weeks of the 2013/14 season.

"There are three teams chasing those two positions, City are obviously going to be second. And I will play my strongest team out of respect for those two other teams. I said to Arsene Wenger after the game last week - don't worry we'll play our strongest team, we'll play a team to win," the Scot explained.

Chelsea have 65 points from 34 games, prior to kick-off at Old Trafford. They are fourth and two points behind the Gunners, who have only two games left to play. Meanwhile, Andre Villas-Boas' Spurs are fifth, level on points with the Blues but trailing them on goal difference. They have one game in hand over Arsenal.

All of this could boil down to just one game - when Tottenham visit Stamford Bridge on Wednesday. A win for Chelsea in that game will all but seal a top four place for them, regardless of what happens with Arsenal. However, if AVB returns to haunt his former side, then the advantage will likely swing the other way.

Of course, this assumes Chelsea will lose to United on Sunday. A win for Rafael Benitez will give the west London club a massive advantage - they'd be third, with a game in hand over Arsenal and enough of a gap to Spurs that even if they did lose in midweek, goal difference would keep them above the White Hart Lane side.

What will please Gunners fans is that United have not lost to Chelsea, at home, since the 2009/10 season, when goals from Joe Cole and Didier Drogba gave them the win. However, Chelsea may have the mental edge going into this game, given they've won two of four game so far.

United and Chelsea faced off in the Capital One Cup and FA Cup this season, with the Blues winning 5-4 at home in the former and forcing a 2-2 draw, at Old Trafford in the latter; they won 1-0 in the replay in London. The league game at Stamford Bridge was a 3-2 win for United.

"They've had a good record against us in the last few years, maybe not at Old Trafford because we've managed to turn that round a bit. But in previous years we had a shocking home record against them. It won't be an easy game but we'll be going out to win," Ferguson concluded.
