Michael Essien returns to the squad having been suspended for the Champions League match against Liverpool. Manchester United are hopeful defender Nemanja Vidic will be fit to play after missing out against Barcelona because of a stomach complaint. Boss Sir Alex Ferguson has promised to make "a couple of changes" and is expected to recall Ryan Giggs. Chelsea (from): Cech, Hilario, Ferreira, Belletti, Alex, Carvalho, Ben-Haim, Terry, A Cole, Bridge, Essien, Makelele, Mikel, Wright-Phillips, J Cole, Malouda, Shevchenko, Drogba, Kalou, Anelka, Sidwell, Pizarro.

REFEREE Alan Wiley (Burntwood, Staffordshire) BIG-MATCH FACTS * Victory for Manchester United will all but clinch a 17th league championship and record 10th Premier League title for the Red Devils. They actually need four points, but their goal difference advantage of 18 over second placed Chelsea is worth another point. * Chelsea go into Avram Grant's 50th match in charge, on the longest current unbeaten sequence in the Premier League of 18, and on an amazing 80-match undefeated home league streak, stretching back four years and two months. * Both clubs are chasing the Champions League/Premier League double. Indeed this match could be a dress rehearsal for the Champions League final in Moscow. United come into this clash on the back of Wednesday's goalless draw withBarcelona in the Nou Camp in the first leg of the semi-finals; Chelsea are also all square, courtesy of John Arne Riise's late, late own goal aginst Liverpool, at Anfield on Tuesday. * Chelsea clinched their second successive Premier League title in this fixture two seasons ago. Last season Manchester United had just been crowned champions before visiting Stamford Bridge. This time, Sir Alex Ferguson's men can effectively, if not mathematically, retain their title. * The Red Devils haveretained the crown four times previously, in 1994, 1997, 2000 and 2001. * Victory for the Blues, would leave them equal on points with the Red Devilswith two to play. But to steal the title, the Stamford Bridge club would need to gain a better pair of results at Newcastle, and home to Bolton, than United manage home to West Ham, and away to Wigan. Conversely being only four points ahead of Arsenal, Chelsea could still concede second spot to the Gunners andmiss out on direct qualification to the group stages of next season's Champions League. * United have conceded just 19 league goals, and are on course for a club record low, which currently stands at 23 shipped from 42 Second Division matches in 1924-25. * Manchester United are chasing a first goal in five Premier League visits to Stamford Bridge, and a first win there in six. * Chelsea have taken more Premier League points off United than any other club (40). CLUB FORM Highest achievable after Saturday's matches: 1st Lowest could fall: 1st 1. Undefeated in 10 in all competitions, and lost one of 16; that defeat being 0-1, home to Portsmouth in the quarter-final of the FA Cup on 8 March. 2. Unbeaten in nine (23 points out of 27) since the 1-2 home defeat by Manchester City on 10 February. 3. Secured 25 victories, dropped 24 points, scored 73 goals, at one every 43 minutes on average, and conceded 19, at one every 166 minutes (two hours 46 minutes); the best in all four categories. Also, the only club not to have conceded a penalty in this division. 4. Kept the joint highest number of clean sheets with Chelsea (20 each). 5. Opened the scoring in an unmatched 27 games (won 23, and lost just one of them); and allowed the opposition to score first in seven matches - that's fewer occasions than any other club. 6. Scored 17 goals in the last 10 minutes; more than any other club. 7. On the longest current run since a goalless draw of 34 matches; and the longest since failing to score of 21 matches. 8. Unbeaten against the "Big Four" and 100% at home; beat Chelsea at home, drew at Arsenal, won at Liverpool, and home to the Reds, and defeated the Gunners at Old Trafford. 9. Undefeated away from home in 2008. Won four and drawn three of the last seven on the road since losing 2-1 to West Ham at Upton Park on 29 December. Drawn the last two away league games, and the last three away, in all competitions. 10. The league run-in is:- West Ham (h) Wigan (a) KEY PLAYER NOTES * Cristiano RONALDO is Manchester United's top scorer with 38 goals. * The Portuguese is also United's leading Premier League marksman with 28 from 29 starts, including seven from the last seven. He is leading the race for the Barclays Golden Boot. * Between them, RONALDO, Carlos TEVEZ and Wayne ROONEY have scored 73 of Manchester United's 101 goals this season in all competitions, and 52 of their 73 (71%) in the Premier League. * Ryan GIGGS is still on course to equal Bobby Charlton's all time appearance record for Manchester United before the season is out. The Wales international will match Charlton's 759 appearances, if he plays a part in each of United's remaining matches and they get to the Champions League final. If selected:- - John O'SHEA will be making his 200th career league appearance (Manchester United and Bournemouth). If on the field from the outset:- - Long term injury, Gary NEVILLE will be making his 350th Premier League start for Manchester United. - Chris EAGLES will be making his 50th club league start (Manchester United, Watford and Sheffield Wednesday). HEAD TO HEAD * Manchester United registered their first victory in six meetings with Chelsea (all competitions), in this season's reverse fixture. * Sir Alex Ferguson's side have not returned with three points from Stamford Bridge since their 0-3 triumph over Claudio Ranieri's side on 20 April 2002, when Paul Scholes, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer all scored.
