There seems to be conflicting reports coming out as to whether he'll make it. Ballack will probably play but Drogba seems to be touch and go. As dangerous as he is, I was kinda hoping to see Vidic give that cheating, diving bastard something to roll about on the ground for! |

Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon does not believe that Sunday's game with Manchester United will be a title decider.
The Premiership champions head to Old Trafford for a Super Sunday clash with The Red Devils - a match you can see live on Sky Sports 1.
United top the Premiership table by three points from Jose Mourinho's side, with both clubs aiming to put midweek UEFA Champions League defeats behind them.
Despite being in the early stages of the current season, many have billed a Sunday's contest as a title decider.
Kenyon has since played down such suggestions regarding Sunday's game, stating The Blues have not reached their peak as yet.
"Sunday is not the deciding the game, as much we try and build it up," Kenyon told Sky Sports News..
"I think we still have a long way to go in the season.
"I think the team is the best team we've had in the three years I've been here.
"In depth, I think the squad is tremendous, and I don't actually think we've seen the best of Chelsea at this stage in the season.
"With players coming off the World Cup, disruption in terms of getting the team together, and the stop-start nature of the season, I think we have the best of Chelsea to come.
"We're very positive and very proud of the team we've got."

No need to say how important this match is in widening the gap between us and Chelsea. I've read about Drogba and Ballack being doubtful for Sunday though Mourinho seems to be confident they'll start. I'm not concerned about Ballack, he hasn't been effective for them...actually the word "rubbish" comes to mind but I'll be polite. Drogba is definitely one of their biggest threats and cheating ways aside, he's a very good striker who can give any defense a run for its money. I certainly want the the win, but have the feeling it will be a 1-1 draw.

Ballack got studded and Drogba landed awkwardly on his ankle, but Jose has come out and said they’re both not injured, just a little sore and will be fine, although you never know when he’s telling the truth.
I originally thought nil, nil, a tight game with not many clear cut chances created, but a lot of passing and heavy tackles. Now I'm not sure, something inside me keeps saying 2 nil Chelsea. Hope I'm completely wrong.

I'm gonna say Michael Carrick will score on sunday. If Darren Fletch can, so can Carrick. 2-1 to United.

I never liked playing Chelsea, even before the Russian revolution they always seemed to do well against us and I don't feel confident about this one, I'd take a draw now because at least we'd maintain our 3 point lead so I'll go 1-1 and hope we can squeeze a win.

In the last few seasons even before Russia came to town, there have been barely any draws between United and Chelsea, it either goes heavily one way or heavily the other. United's home advantage and league form -2-0 United. |
