Due to our blind faith even when we have been playing poorly we have not got a result correct for a while now.

Can't beat Southend at home? Never mind we only have Man Utd at Old Trafford next!

I need a little more time to get my prediction in.

Sigh.

Sadly I don't think we'll win, so I've gone for 1-1. We'll score first then Man Utd will get a late equaliser, no doubt aided by the referee.

3-0 Man Ure, I reckon. And the beginning of their surge to an insurmountable lead by the end of February...

Unless we raise our game...

I´ve meditated on this the whole day (while waiting for that flu bug to hit me before Monday morning), and I`m afraid I will have to go for a 2-0 loss. But rest assured, I will still love our Chels, although perhaps not all our players.

Votes so far:

W: 0

D: 1

L: 3

I love the wealth of confidence we have in the team. :D

Seeing as it is that I am the only one who voted for a victory, I have to say that I was going to go for a loss, but its just so against my nature I couldn't. I certainly believe we can pull this one off - we have the players and the quality. I just hope the game doesn't at some point hang on Scolari making a change of whatever sort.

A test of Chelsea's spirit. Let's see if they can grind out my presdiction of 1-0...

The old blue tinted specs simply don't let me bet/back against the Blues. But I have no hope of a win and as we are scoring away from home I have gone for a 2-2 draw !!!!

2-1 United.

Gone for 1-1 myself and I think it us going to be a lucky point for us.

I am struggling to make a prediction on this, UTD have a very good team but seem to me almost as reliant on Refereeing decisions as they are on their players,

I think with a defensive pairing back to Carvalho and Terry we might not concede from a set piece or header and I doubt the players will lose concentration towards the end.

I will go for a 1-2 and hope there are no dodgy decisions that dominate the game.

I've gone for us losing, but I really hope I am wrong. Out of interest, if the majority goes to "Chelsea Lose" what do you put the bet on, Chippy?

In that event I think I'd spend the bet money on a bottle of Prozac to share between the lot of you.

I suppose in this instance I would look at the odds for a straight UTD win and give the odds for that on the usual stake from my own pocket, 2 reasons 1: I will never bet on us to lose and 2: the return for a UTD win at home will be negligable.

If Chelsea lose us the highest vote then we just place one bet on the 2nd highest. As Chippy says the odds wild make any return tiny.

ive gone for 1-1 but still hold out for a win. as bad as were playing at the moment, utd arent exactly on fire. and we can still beat any team if we play well.

I'm dreaming of a 2-3 comeback :D Got £5 @ 40/1 with PP. ;)

My heart says 2 1 Chelsea my head not so sure but I known its a must win game or must not lose, got a feeling Scolari due a win against a big club ? Man utd are a big club you think ? :D

Agree with aliboy66, have gone for a 2-1 Chelsea result with my blue tinted specs on but I am not too sure what will happen the way we have played lately.

I hate to think of Chelsea losing, always have, but I've got to be realistic - if we play the way we've been playing recently, we'll get stuffed.

For the sake of making a positive prediction, if you need a tie-breaker or something, feel free to change my vote to 2-2.

I'm not confident either.

Chelsea will not win this match. I really hope I'm wrong, but just can't see us winning.

Well, not sure of the team fergie put out tonight, but a 30 yard screamer from Commons sees Derby beating Man U 1-0 at the half!!!!

United haven’t exactly been that brilliant of late grinding out 1-0 against mediocre opposition.

So I'm going for a 1-0 win.

Chelsea win! Two clean goals!

Best regards to all ;)
