08 May 2011 at 05:29hrs | Views
Manchester United today host Chelsea in a supernova clash that could determine the fate and destiny of the English Premier League. After all, it was the Red Devils' mistakes that have allowed the Blues to come back strongly. The fact that the once had a gigantic 18 points lead over Carlo Ancelotti's men is probably hard to imagine now.
However, significant defeats against Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal have now allowed the Blues to salvage their poor season with a record-breaking comeback. However, the title challenge is back on fire although we believe that Sir Alex's men are better position to consolidate a win tonight. Live Soccer TV explains how Manchester United will set their team up tonight.
Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez are expected to lead the line tonight. Ryan Giggs is expected to be reinstated in the line-up. The combination of Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand will be hard for Chelsea to overcome. But these are all the possible line-ups images. How wil their set up mentally and tactically? We believe that it could be a reminiscence of their midweek clash against Schalke 04.
The German side were obviously chasing the game after their 2-0 loss in the first leg at Veltins Arena and were certainly made to pay. Almost all the Schalke players were given license to attack and obviously it did backfire themselves as United secured a thumping victory by just attacking when space and timing allows.
Manchester United only attacked when needed as they had that precious 2-0 lead and as far as Sir Alex was concerned, preserving the lead was the most important aspect. Fair enough, that was what they did exactly as Ralf Rangnick's men were brushed off easily at Old Trafford.
Against Chelsea, a similar philosophy is expected to be employed by Sir Alex Ferguson and it could certainly be the key to their imminent hopes tonight. Chelsea will be the ones desperately in need of three points while sharing points with Chelsea would not be too bad for United.
Therefore, Live Soccer TV expects the Devils to bank on the dynamism of Wayne Rooney as well as the pace of Javier Hernandez upfront tonight. Solidity at the back will allow some space for United to counter attack and score when it all matters. A very simple tactic that could not only end Chelsea's title hope, but also Carlo Ancelotti's reign with the Blues.
