As holders of the FA Cup, Chelsea travel to Manchester this afternoon to take on United in the Quarter Final of the FA Cup. Having won the competition in four of the last seven seasons, Chelsea need a big performance to progress.

Team News

After another woeful and second rate performance from "Rafa's Chelsea" the likes of Victor Moses, Ramires, Juan Mata, Gary Cahill, Cesar Azpilicueta, Demba Ba and Ashley Cole will all return to the starting eleven for this one. Oriol Romeu remains Chelsea's only long term injury this season.

Form

Up and down is the best way to describe Chelsea at the moment and it's not good at all. Defeat to Steaua away after beating West Brom at home last weekend is disappointing. 

Chelsea struggled to beat Middlesborough in the last round to set up the tie against United. I'm not looking forward to this one

Head-to-head

This will be the third game between the sides this season. United beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League but were then defeated in the League Cup a few days later 5-4. 

United seems to have turned the corner against Chelsea. Chelsea have had a good record against them over the years at Old Trafford but recently it seems United have the upper hand.
