Chelsea's strong back four restored for United.

The return of Alex yesterday to match action is a timely boost for Chelsea heading up to Manchester. The tried and trusted back four of Ivanovic, Alex, Terry and Cole was the bedrock of our success last season and should restore confidence throughout the rest of the side.

United will have their work cut out breaking us down on Tuesday and the attention will turn to our midfield and forward line to get that away goal and put us back on level terms and to kick on from there.

If you think about it, we have never really looked as solid without Alex in the side. Luiz has come into the club and the first team and has done really well but you cannot underestimate experience and with Alex stepping back into our defence chelsea should be solid and much more than we have been.

I honestly believe that United WILL NOT score on Tuesday night so the focus will be on Chelsea to get their act together in midfield and up front.

The biggest game of our season could be the turning point of our season and I believe we can beat United!

More to come tomorrow and Tuesday!
