Or Utd playing 3 at the back?

What formation they playing? 

Tractor / trailer across the middle, double decker at the back

I feel sorry for Ake, I understand the full strength team, but not even bench?

Not far off their best 11...

Courtois 

Dave SSB Cahill 

Moses Matic Kante Alonso 

Willian Costa Hazard 

Would rather have Pedro playing personally after seeing how much trouble he gave them the last time we played them.

Same team as beat them 4-0, apart from it is Willian instead of Pedro who will score in the first 5 minutes :-)

You're not going to drop JT and Zouma for Ake

Matic. Good. We'll ship less goals than if Fab was playing

Hmm zouma maybe, Coz we don't have a back up wing back, wait Nvm pedro plays lwb at times I forgot that 

Abit harsh on Pedro.

Strong team. Disappointed that more of the squad did not get a game here.

Makes full sense to have Ake on the bench to me. One left footed defender and one right footed. Tbh of all the defender's maybe Terry shouldn't be on the bench. 

Surprised to see both Pedro and Fabregas drop out of the team, think it puts a lot of the scoring/creativity onus on Diego and Hazard.

Conte is going for it united playing 3 at the back a few teams tried that at the bridge and failed miserably

Don't really want to question Conte but surely pedro should've started? It's not like he's knackered or anything.

I think Conte knows this is going to be a very physical match, hence Matic and Willian.

I'm not a huge fan of those effects, but I'd still rather watch that any day of the week than the sort of stuff that some people post on YouTube. Like the compilation of last ten matches between Chelsea and ManU that was posted here in some thread (this one, maybe?). Editing a goal compilation isn't exactly rocket science, but some people aren't even trying. It makes me want to punch the monitor when I watch a compilation that has been cut in a way that the editor just cuts according to the video and doesn't care what the audio sounds like. I mean, it's so annoying when the commentary cuts in and out sometimes in the middle of a word or a sentence just because it's where the editor wanted to cut the video. They do know it's possible to edit video in a way that you don't have to cut both the video and audio from the same spot every time you make a cut, right? They know that you can take a piece of the commentary and edit the pictures over that audio track by taking the replays and celebration (and what not) shots out of sync from the original match footage, right? Right? If you're too lazy to edit the audio, please just make a simple in/out edit and show the entire sequence as it was in the broadcast instead of chopping it up. Thank you.

Basic video editing principles. i don't mind the amateur sh*te on youtube because it's just some bloke at home doing it in his spare time, it's when a multi-million pound organisation like Chelsea put up a video on their official twitter that could have been done in in windows movie maker by a chimp that I really get sad. Whoever approves that crap needs to be smacked around the head, this isn't 1998

All united team have to play 10/10 to win tonight

Jose will use this formation

 

 

 

 

 

 

Michael OLiver is the Referee. Oh Dear !!!

4 Injury related absentees from Manyoo tells it all :

Violent punch of players.

I fear seriously for an injury of our own.

Still remember how Zouma broke his leg jumping last year against Many

Pedro is our top scorer in this competition. Surprised he isn't starting.
