Today's your day, Adnan. Make us proud!

On a side note, happy for Januzaj. Hopefully he gets more confidence starting a second game in a row and puts in a great performance, him and Di Maria are capable of winning the game for us with their quality, no matter the opposition.

Di Maria yes

Januzaj not a chance he's still too raw

MarcRed96 · Oct 26, 2014

Costa being out will definitely hurt Chelsea. If find a way to stop Fabregas then I reckon we have a shot at getting something from this.

By the way, our injury record is absolutely ridiculous.

VanGaalEra · Oct 26, 2014

Old Trafford will be rocking, the players need to start quick, press and get at Chelsea early.

Will keep the crowd going with us as well.

Jazz · Oct 26, 2014

I come back and see our lineup - where is Herrera???? Fellaini makes me nervous. He better do well. I don't mind him coming on as a sub but honestly to start?????

Martin(6)Buchan · Oct 26, 2014

Good luck to the lads today......COME ON UNITED !

How is Januzaj not capable of winning the game?

charlenefan · Oct 26, 2014

Januzaj needs to be given the option to play from the left, he's utter garbage from the right

Damn, if only we had Anderson.

RedIke · Oct 26, 2014

Really sucks about Falcao. Don't mind the lineup, I have more confidence in Smalling than Jones.

This is my personal last chance with Adnan, and Fellani with LVGs coaching has looked half decent this season.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

ItsEssexRob · Oct 26, 2014

How is Costa not even on the fecking Bench

mitchmouse · Oct 26, 2014

Glad Eto'o went to Everton - would not have wanted to face him today. Couple of good goals for him at Burnley

Exactly. The caf is obsessed with "mobility" in CM where in reality the best CMs of the last decade haven't been very athletic. See Pirlo, Scholes, Xavi still doing the business well into their mid 30s.

Completely agree, seems everyone has been high on the Yaya juice watching him for the last couple of years.

Only surprise would have been if Torres' loan had been ended and he tipped up too and score three!

Like his last appearance at OT :lol:

.

Thankfully, Adnan is going to have the game of his life, Hazard and Farbegas go missing, and RVP finds the goal.

It's a copy of Spurs vs Newcastle.

Annoying to see Van Persie instead of Falcao. But Dutch love the Dutch I suppose.

Injury in training might also have something to do with it

So who should we have played there instead? An unfit Carrick? An unfit Fletcher? On curious to know.

I'd rather a half fit Herrera over Mata, any day of the week. The lack of energy and movement in that trio will kill us imo.

We could just stand Ando in goal. He would fill it.

Injured players often aren't on the bench. Simple!

He's fecked. Starting him in the first few weeks when he had the constant hamstring niggles doesn't look like such a great idea now

VanGaalEra · Oct 26, 2014

Are you serious?

Try having Fabregas on the bench with Cahill also ruled out last minute. That's the shit we've had to deal with on here for the last hour. Along with Falcao out.

This threads been in meltdown :lol:

Sammyjunn · Oct 26, 2014

Guys, I'm ahead of you, please a 19 year old isnt shite when he has to play vs the best team in the league with close to no match rhythm.

Mourinho said they will get him fit for Spain in a few weeks time..

If you knew me through my World Cup days on here, I was betting much more bigger amount than this. I have already toned down because I realized I can't go on losing so much everyday.

Isn't it a stomach bug that's ruled him out?

Guys stop with the pessimism you will not lose. We have a 36 year old drogba up front which I am rather pissed about which basically eliminates any chance we have of playing for the win. Depends on if you can break us down.

Yes, the inclusion of an experienced striker, who may or may not be in form, will totally ruin your fantastic run of form.

TheRedDevil'sAdvocate · Oct 26, 2014

I just hope Januzaj plays on the left wing with Di Maria on the right side cutting inside and creating space for Rafael. Januzaj can't do much with his right foot and his delivery has been bad this season.

The moaning about Fellaini is unbelievable, i know he's not United quality and stuff but if you have any other suggestions for closing down Fabregas please share them with the rest of us.

Costa's not in the Chelsea squad, that's definitely good news for our 7th CB pairing this season!!!

Deleted member 78215 · Oct 26, 2014

In the league: Hazard has 2 in 8; Oscar has 2 in 5; Willian 1 in 7; Fabregas 1 in 8; Matic 1 in 8.

Not many goals in this Chelsea team without Costa. We've got a chance.

Copy of the Spurs game? that finished with an away win!

He had a bit of a stomach bug too but the original thing was an injury of some sort

LARulz · Oct 26, 2014

Not looking forward to this at all. Best line up available but bench looks weak

Eugenius · Oct 26, 2014

I laugh at all the Chelsea fans crying about Costa not being available. We've got Falcao and Rooney out, let alone injuries elsewhere

Slevs · Oct 26, 2014

Smalling? fecks sake

daniel9988 · Oct 26, 2014

A win would be a pleasant surprise haha. Hopefully we can get a draw.

Because his form is awful and he doesn't look capable of doing anything at all at the moment. I pray he proves me wrong but can't see it.

mitchmouse · Oct 26, 2014

I honestly thought Jose would given Costa 20 mins in the hope of his pace getting them two goals and then just holding. Very glad he isn't there but Drogba always looks brilliant against us. Not sure why so many people think Chelsea will struggle for goals especially given the way we have been defending

VanGaalEra · Oct 26, 2014

I hope Januzaj plays with a free spirit, just go out there and enjoy yourself.

The criticism for him on here is bordering insanity.

Any player is capable of winning a game for a team on his day. Adnan definitely has the talent to do so, just needs to sort out his decision-making and movement. Hope he plays far better than last week where he was dreadful. He must be impressing van Gaal in training to start again. Wilson could potentially surprise them off the bench. His pace could be very useful late on.
