Every win is important right now, if we won our next two games it would put is in a great spot for next year. But we're too inconsistent for that, and I would never rely on 3 points at Old Trafford. We've not won at Old Trafford in 10 years, if you're expecting 3 points here I would be careful. These bastards always have lifelines against us no matter how sh*t they are. 

I definitely want some effort in this game, more like City and Arsenal than Newcastle. 

Going on a bit of a winning run now is more than important, it will probably define our entire season. After being 10th after 14 games we have put ourselves in such a situation that it can't wait so why not set the standard there? The owners expect Poch to be up there (around Top 4) when the season ends so a win here is necessary if thats going to happen.

Not saying Poch should be sacked if we lose, he should be judged in the summer unless things unravel completely but he's going to need this win as much as we do. If you drop to 11th or 12th in mid December he would naturally start to feel the pressure.

Rashford on this form shouldn't be a problem.

It's Garnacho on the other side where we've got to be careful.

Yes, lets hope he is at his sulky worst.

Trouble is, man Utd are weird games. We always used to do well against them, but can't recall too many wins in recent seasons with a lot of very dull draws. An players out of form like Rashford and Martial always have a habit of rediscovering form when they play us. Would take a 1-0 win but I Hope we absolutely batter them as this is the worst United team for some considerable time.

 

MU is lot closer to Newcastle with the style they play. We are much better suited against football played by Arsenal, Tottenham, City and Liverpool who put everything on pressing and attack. MU lacks that personnel so they sit deep if they need to. Gladly they are in a much worse form than Newcastle. 

However this can go in so many ways. We could lose 3-0 or win 4-0 or it could be 1-1. Every scenario is as likely as the next.

I really hope we are solid and able to introduce Nkunku for the last 20mins.

I think we outplayed them most of the times we faced them under Sarri and Tuchel but somehow kept fluffing our lines, even under Lampard 1.0 the scorelines seriously flattered them.

One of the most flattering unbeaten runs one team have ever had on another, hopefully tomorow is the night we finally cash in.

Nkunku won't feature in this game...

Ideally I'd like him ready for our end of the year run. Winnable games those. 

this started well...

 

Yeah I shed to think what our bench will look like. Hopefully Alex Matos makes it. 

Out injured:

 

Madueke (no surprises there)

Lesley

Nkunku

Lavia

Gusto

Fofana

Carney

Gallagher (Suspension)

No choice but to play Palmer as a 10 then.

Don't forget to join the fun and make your predictions here:

Either way one thing is sure, there will be goals.

Not so sure about this, neither can afford to lose. I'm expecting some cautious football...

It can very much be proven the reality once the match begins, if that's the case I hope Onana makes a blunder and not Sanchez.

We're going to win - I can feel it!

I hope we don't have that kind of mindset going into any game. We need to perform hopefully that turns into a win.

Match Day!

Come On Chelsea!!

Come on Chelsea

Bit off topic but let me tell you this - I love football and I hate that this sport has to have Garnacho as the name that pops up everytime a great goal is discussed of. 

He is, IMHO, a disgrace to this sport. It is an absolute insult to football that this arrogant rat was the one to score that goal. 

One of the most overrated players in world football. Hyped up to the max by the Utd fools. Just like they did with Januzaj.

Garnacho provoking opposition fans after playing a couple of professional matches is just annoying to watch. He is a clown and on route to become an even bigger rat than Suarez used to be.

Blimey!

I'm not keen on ANY United players but Garnacho is down the list of players I dislike  - certainly behind Fernandes & Antony!

 

Really looking forward to seeing if Enzo-Caicedo-Palmer clicks as a midfield. 

Our recent record against these is woeful, made worse by the fact they have been terrible for a long time. I think we are a better team than them, but no idea if we'll be clinical or not. Having said that -- 3-1 Chelsea. 

Got a feeling we will beat

UTD, VAR, REF, ... tonight.

Come on you BLUES !

Neither team can defend to save their lives so it'll probably end up 0-0
