Chelsea v Manchester United: Fan v Fan Preview

Team News

It will be interesting to see how Rafa Benitez approaches this one after we played Southampton on Saturday. This is a realistic competition for Chelsea to win this season and I believe he will play his full strength side. The problem is, who does he consider that to be? 

Everyone came through unscathed in the defeat against Southampton while some others we rested so I expect Chelsea to be strong and up for this one.

Form

The original tie at Old Trafford seems to have been the turning point in our season. After a woeful first half performance, the players came out and played some amazing football in the second half. Being honest, United couldn't live with us and but for David De Gea's outstretched leg, this game wouldn't even be being played. 

Another two good performances against Steaua and West Brom, Chelsea look to be on form with Eden Hazard and Juan Mata the starts of the show. 

Head-to-head

United have had the upper hand in recent times but this is a Cup game and anything goes. I really do believe that our second half performance would have worried Sir Alex purely and simply because of the fact that United couldn't live with us.
