The Red Devils take on the Blues for the 2nd time in three days and will be hoping for another victory after securing three points on Sunday with a controversial winner, with Bettor.com analyzing the two sides’ tactics for tonight.
CHELSEA:
Expected Line-up:
Turnbull
Azpilicueta, Cahill, Luiz, Bertrand
Romeu, Mikel
Moses, Mata, Marin,
Piazon
MANCHESTER UNITED
Expected Line-up:
Lindegaard
Vermijl, M Keane, Wooton, Buttner
Nani, Powell, Fletcher,Scholes, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anderson-c5565
Welbeck
Roberto Di Matteo is likely to start http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Petr-Cech-c29837 earning a much deserved break.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 could be in real trouble.
Furthermore, Luis http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 will look to curl in crosses for the strikers and Turnbull will need be on his toes if he is to keep a clean sheet.
Chelsea’s defence was exposed badly on Sunday, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/César-Azpilicueta-c8677 will be in line to start and faces a tough task against Anderson, who will be raring to go after
spending some time out on the sidelines.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Luiz-c10542 and Ryan Bertrand will be in for ride and need to respond with character, otherwise Javier Hernandez could burst their bubble once more.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Fletcher-c10361 and Nick Powell.
The duo have impressed whilst playing for the Red Devils this term and will be given a chance to catch Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s eye in the Capital One Cup
Juan Mata will be fresh from his exploits against the 19-time English champions, while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marko-Marin-c24198 will look to attack the opposing defence with all their might.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anders-Lindegaard-c5553 and get his name on the score sheet.
That might be easier considering that Sir Alex is ready to make chances for tonight and field a weakened team, keeping in mind the Premier League commitments on the weekend
“We always talk about developing and giving youngsters a chance so this type of game is a good opportunity for some of them. Obviously, we'll make changes for Wednesday. The squad that played against Newcastle will be in place again. I think I will make
some changes there but not a lot as we don't want to lose down there anyway. We want to continue in the Cup but there will still be some changes."
Fergie’s main cause of concern will be the shaky defence, which has not only been below par this season but is without http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173 and Jonny Evan.
Nonetheless, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo’s comments will have eased the Scot’s mind, as the Italian claimed that he too will not opt for a full strength line-up
"It is our fourth game in 10 days and they have all been big games so we are looking to freshen the team up a little bit for sure, and also put a couple of youngsters in,” said the Blues’ boss.
