Man United v Chelsea live!

Sir Alex Ferguson

1537 Hello to Cork City and Keith Buckley, who says: “David, I am going for a 2-0 win to united. Rooney to keep up his good form against the blues with a brace.”

1535 I get the impression from you all that this is going to be a very dramatic afternoon and Hamza Emzio agrees: “Has the title race ever been more exciting in recent years? Expecting a tense affair but hoping for an entertaining game of football. A 3-2 scoreline to United. Rooney, Hernandez and maybe a cheeky winner from leading goalscorer Berbatov!”

1532 Many thanks to Gary Finnigan, who says: “As a neutral, i’m going for a 2-0 chelsea win to blow the title race wide open. Lampard and torres with the goals.” That would certianly make the last two weeks very intersting indeed!

1531 Matt Eastwood reckons it will be a late show from a certain Bulgarian striker: “Huge game, huge consequences for title race, very nervous although Chelsea do have tough game vs. everton on the last day compared to us vs Blackpool. Come on united!!!! Berba to come on and score the winner!”

1531 Neha Makwana says: “It’s gonna be an interesting match, but hoping Chelsea win all the way, as that will shut all my mates up who support united!!”

1530 Callum Taylor says: “It will be close. i reckon Man U are gonna just defend defend, and defend again, and then, they’ll look to get a goal from a counter attack 1-0 Man U.”

1527 Here is some early team news before a few more of your emails. Fernando Torres is only on the bench at Old Trafford with Didier Drogba in attack rather than their £50million new-boy. United are without Patrice Evra, who is sidelined by a thigh injury. Not surprisingly, Sir Alex Ferguson retains only three members of the starting line-up that overcame Schalke in midweek with Fabio occupying one full-back berth, John O’Shea the other and Javier Hernandez in attack.

1525 Many thnaks to Bethany Clark, who says: “As a chelsea fan, i hope we do get a win today, it could give us more confidence. We won the league last year, we can do it this year, COME ON YOU BLUES!!!!”

1522 Right on cue, Cian Hughes is going for the Blues this afternoon: “Really tough game. Really can’t wait for the start of this game! This is the title decider. I would love Chealsea to win! I will hope for a 4-2 victory for Chealsea with: Torres(2), Drogba,+Malouda, Chicarito(2) for utd.” Thanks for that Cian, Torres to step up to the plate then? He is 7/1 to open the scoring at Sky Bet.

1520 Another one for a United win – Audun from Norways says: “rumours say we are playing without evra, but with giggs and park. close game but united win 3-1. Rooney, chicharito and nani with the goals.” Anyone for a Chelsea win?

1518 Matt Hickley continues in the same vein and predicts a tight game. “I reckon it will be a cagey game today which will end up seeing the title race go to the wire I reckon 1-1 today Rooney and kalou.” I am inclined to agree with you Matt, a draw would be my idea of the final score.

1517 Lee Edwards from Lincolnshire adds: “I think todays game will be a tight and nervy affair but with United edging it 2-1 with the little hero Chico scoring the winner.”

1516 Thanks to Damian Curran, who is our first emailer on the game. He says: “Like a broken record, I hope for everyones sake today we get a professional and steady refereeing display today & as a united fan I hope nani doesn’t start. Come on the reds!”

1515 Sky Bet make the Red Devils 5/4 in this one with Chelsea 11/5 and the draw 23/10. Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez head the first goalscore betting at 5/1 and 11/2 with Didier Drogba on offer at 6/1. Antonio Valencia has really caught the eye on his return since being injured and he can be backed at 16/1 to break the deadlock.

1510 Good Afternoon and welcome to what could be the Premier League title decider at Old Trafford. A win for Manchester United would send them six points clear with two games left while Chelsea could go top on goal difference with a victory of their own.
