 TEAM NEWS 

Chelsea duo Yury Zhirkov and John Mikel Obi are both available after
recovering from injuries.

The Blues' only absentee is right-back Jose Bosingwa, who may require surgery
to treat his knee problem.

Man Utd will again be without Rio Ferdinand, with boss Sir Alex Ferguson
worried that the defender's calf injury may be related to a lower back
problem.

Nemanja Vidic (calf) should be fit to face the Blues, but Gary Neville sits
out the match through suspension.

 MATCH PREVIEW 

- Chelsea look to extend their 100% home record under Carlo Ancelotti and open
  up a five-point lead over the reigning Premier League champions.

- Only two points separate the sides but on the early evidence it is the Blues
  who look the better bet for the title.

- A fortnight ago the Red Devils couldn't cope with a half-fit Fernando Torres
  at Anfield, while defensive frailties were again evident against CSKA Moscow
  on Tuesday.

- An under-strength Manchester United rearguard will have their work cut out
  against Didier Drogba, who with nine goals in 11 league games looks to be in
  the form of his life.

- However, Ancelotti will know better than to underestimate the visitors,
  especially opposite number Sir Alex Ferguson, who celebrated 23 years in
  charge on Friday.

- The Italian was the coach at Juventus when the Red Devils famously fought
  back from two-nil down in Turin to reach the 1999 Champions League final.


 MATCH FACTS 

Head-to-head

‧ Chelsea and Man United have met 34 times in the Premier League, with the
   Blues winning 10, the Red Devils 10 and 14 draws.

‧ Sir Alex Ferguson's side have not won at the Bridge since a 3-0 win in
   April 2002 when Paul Scholes, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
   all scored.

‧ Chelsea are unbeaten in eight games (all comps) at home to United (W4, D4).


Chelsea

‧ The Blues are looking for an 11th successive home win in all competitions,
   which will equal the club record set in 2006. Arsenal were the last side to
   win at Stamford Bridge, in November 2008.

‧ Chelsea have won all nine of their home games under Carlo Ancelotti and
   have not conceded a goal at the Bridge since beating Hull on the opening day
   - a run of 782 minutes (just over 13 hours).

‧ Carlo Ancelotti's side have scored 20 of their 28 goals after half-time.

‧ Didier Drogba has scored six goals in his last five appearances in all
   competitions. The Ivorian has 12 for the season.

   his 28th birthday on Sunday.


Man Utd

‧ Man Utd have not won on their last five visits to one of the Big Four,
   losing at Liverpool (twice), Chelsea and Arsenal, plus drawing at Stamford
   Bridge last season. Their last win was at Liverpool in 2007.

‧ The Red Devils are the only team not to concede a goal from a set-piece in
   the Premier League this season.

‧ Ryan Giggs has scored 99 Premier League goals for United, and Paul Scholes
   has 98.

 MOST RECENT MEETING 

Chelsea 2-2 Man Utd (Chelsea won 4-1 pens), 9 August 2009


 Skysports.com predictions:    Chelsea 1-1 Man Utd

 One to watch:    Didier Drogba


 Lawro's predictions    Chelsea 2-1 United


United are struggling defensively and are dealing with a few injuries, while
everybody have been impressed with Chelsea.

Most teams have their blips but I just don't see where they will be coming
from with Carlo Ancelotti's men.

The squad at Stamford Bridge seem to be a much happier and fitter bunch and
move the ball around much quicker than they used to which may well prove too
much even for United.
