    It'll be a tight game. I'm still sticking to 0-2. Both goals in the last ten minutes.

    And Conte being sacked in the morning :D

    Lingard probably in for Mkhi. Makes sense dropping Miki but I wouldnt expect much from lingard. This game isnt really suited for him. In a game ecpected to be tight with few chances and mostly slow play, whats needed is someone who can dribble past players on his own and create something from nothing (martial). Also normally you want your most talented attacker on the pitch. Whatever though hope for the best. Not expecting much at all.

    You didn't like him at home last season? Is it such a different game?

    If we play 3 at the back, conceding an early goal there again and making the formation pointless, seems almost inevitable.

    Our mistake when we lost to Chelsea was getting our wingers to track their wing backs. Dropped back and allowed their centre backs all the time in the world to pick out a pass.

    The fact that he wears a microphone as a hat is somewhat of a turnoff, or so you would think, different strokes and all that.

    I know its random, but I really hate the negativity that surrounds Fellaini's hair.
    It's disgusting.

    I admire your optimism and wish I felt that too but, this is a place we have struggled at for what feels like forever. We couldn't even beat them there two seasons ago, so I have a hard time feeling positive about this one :(

    Nah, still mkh will play and Lingard could come on later for the work rate and crosses.
     
    Feel that fellani will be available on the bench.

    Hope hazard don't start diving to send someone off.
     
    I have a growing feeling of dread. If we start slowly and concede first, I fear another hammering. If we go for it, we might just shock everyone but can't see it to be fair
     
    I want to see us show some backbone and stick it to a big team away.

    But in reality we will probably play very defensive and lose 1-0.

    Hope Fellaini isn't a bluff from Mourinho. But having taken 22 players indicates it is.

    I think we got hammered last season because Smalling was unfit and simply couldn't defend.

    Still, I share your concern about conceding. Apart from a couple of games last season, we have never looked confident of chasing a game when we are trailing by 2 goals or so. This is something Jose needs to amend -- we need to show more toughness to come back and win a game from a losing position.

    If we go with 3 CBs today, I think we will be somewhat solid at the back.

    Chelsea are a defensive side too.

    People needs to stop saying this.
     
    I haven't read through the thread yet; but 3 at the back is what we expect today, yea? Bailly, Smalling and Jones
     
    Looks like as I suspected only a win will do for us today, as Arsenal really are pathetic.
     
    So, will United take it to Chelsea like City did when they outplayed them at the Bridge or no? Please don't play for 0-0

    Sadly think it'll be eight points after the game and the forum will be a City jizzfest for the next two weeks.

    I don’t think we will lose so at the most of 7. I reckon we can take this Chelsea side, just depends how Mou decides to set up. Arsenal are still in this game, but they need to stop losing the ball.

    I don’t understand Wenger, pays a fortune for Lacazette just to leave him on the bench. Giroud is always bailing them out yet gets left on the bench also.
     
    I would say go for it from the start and put them on the back foot. Then score early and let them attack and we counter attack. Let our attackers attack while our defence and Matic defend. We have more pace than they have both in defence and in our attack.

    Hmm. Don't give up yet. I feel a draw could be on at the Emptyhad. City look a bit ... uneven at the back. Course that depends on them not getting three after the break.

    Can't see Arsenal not conceding 2 more goals at least.
     
    So far things are going as expected in the other game, so we just have to do our job and win today, anything else, and well we will be further behind City, which of course will not be at all ideal.

    This is the guy who scored an absolute cracker the year before right?

    The one with LvG? Yeah hes capable of random very good performances but he had one recently so i wouldnt count on one so soon after. Its how hes always been at United. Most of the the time does nothing in big games, random times scores a nice goal out of nowhere.
     
    Hope we manage to get a point atleast from this game. We have always struggled there to get a victory against them. But I think Jose will have a point to prove at Stamford Bridge. So hoping for a Jose masterclass here.
     
    Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things what someone's hairstyle is like??
     
    Hope chelsea have lots of attacks vs us..we survive and then in 90th minute matic sends a long ball forward, fellaini heads it to lukaku
     
    Damn, forgot to put my prediction in :(

    Any chance a mod can add one late? De Gea, Bailly, Smalling, Jones, Valencia, Herrera, Matic, Young, Mkhitaryan, Lukaku, Rashford

    Subs: Martial, Darmian, Mata

    If not, no worries!
