It will be an unique occasion tomorrow as all roads would lead to Old Trafford to witness the most important match of this season. Leaders, Manchester United will entertain Chelsea at the Theatre of Dreams in an exciting fixture tomorrow.
Chelsea would be happy to arrive at Old Trafford with Didier Drogba who has been given the green flag after an injury. They’ll also be happy to meet the Red Devils without their leading scorer Wayne Rooney, who faces an absence due to an injury suffered during their Champions League clash against Bayern Munich.
In today’s conference at Carrington, Sir Alex Ferguson said, "We are relieved about Wayne. The diagnosis - no fracture, just ankle ligament damage - is good news, considering how bad it looked. He is looking at (being out for) two to three weeks so we will have to pick a team without him. But I think there are plenty of goals in the team without Wayne.”
Manchester United would be looking to take a giant step towards the title. Sir Alex Ferguson has said that their clash with Chelsea is crucial but not a title decider. Both teams would be looking for a win but with the absence of Rooney, Sir Alex has to turn to Berbatov to fire the goals.
Dimitar Berbatov has been the second-highest scorer for the Red Devils this season. I think Berbatov has to step up to keep the momentum going at the top of the Premier League and turn the Champions League tie against Bayern Munich around at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
He’s not a attacking player like Rooney as he prefers to score goals by slipping the ball through. He has the quality and must produce some match-winning performances at this crucial time.
A good news for United is one of their long-term absentees - John O'Shea and Owen Hargreaves may feature against Chelsea. Sir Alex hinted that both the players have been training well enough to be considered for substitute berths against the Blues tomorrow.
Mike Dean has been appointed as referee for United vs Chelsea clash. Manchester United are unbeaten in their last four home league games against Chelsea, winning three of those. I hope United make it four tomorrow. Glory Glory Man United.
