Game 33 Preview - Manchester United vs Chelsea (Apr 03, 2010)

All eyes are on Old Trafford as Chelsea visit Champions Manchester United in a game that could have a strong bearing on the title race with just six games to go.

United won 4-0 against Wolves while Chelsea thrashed Aston Villa 7-1 in their last respective league games. Chelsea's players should be fresher since United had the extra Champions League game in midweek in Germany.

The worrying thing for United is that talisman Wayne Rooney is out with an ankle injury. Dimitar Berbatov will replace the English striker and is likely to be supported upfront by Ryan Giggs. Chelsea welcome back Dider Drogba after an injury and he will have a real battle with Nemanja Vidic as always.

Before Rooney's injury I would have tipped United to win but now I feel that United might find it hard to score against the Londoners. I'm going for a 1-1 draw, a result both sides will be happy with.
