Since Carlos Ancelotti's took over, Chelsea have have started performing well with diamond formation being the key.Chelsea has a brilliant season so far by already winning the Community shield and Qualifying for the last 16 of Uefa CL,and also booking their place in Quarterfinals of the Carling cup.They are also currently top of the table in EPL. Altogether the blues are in great form.

The team which Acelotti's men will host is Manchester United,who are only behind Chelsea in EPL and have confirmed their places in the Last 16 of Uefa CL and the Quarterfinals of Carling Cup. United s  attacking power has been good throughout the season, only the defense is the main concern. Their form has been brilliant so far this season as compared to the previous seasons but defense seems like crushed under, when they face a champion opponent. Although we have to agree that all of them have played with injuries but still man marking has been poor this season. The match against Liverpool was a good performance, but when decision don't go by your side then certainly it's heartbreaking. Going into this match SAF has hailed that, this match would be the toughest match of the season, and the way Chelsea are playing, United have to defend very very well. But Neville is on a 3  matches ban, so he won't be available and even Rio Ferdinand who hasn't performed well this season can be out of this match due to a back injury from which he is suffering from the UEFA CL 2008-09 quarter final match against Porto

The teams would probally look like this.

Chelsea.Cech as the goalkeeper, A. Cole, Terry, Carvalho and Ivanovic in the defense, Essien, Lampard, Ballack and Deco in the midfield and Anelka , Drogba upfront, together making a brilliant 4-1-2-1-2 diamond formation for them

Manchester United.VDS can start again with O'Shea, Vidic, Evans and Evra in defense, Valencia who is performing brilliantly nowadays can start with Giggs on either flanks, Anderson can start too in the middle with Fletcher whom SAF has hailed as a big match player and it is so because if you look back to those 2 matches, the UEFA CL final against Barca and the match against Liverpool this season they dearly missed him due to suspension and injuries respectively. Rooney and Berbatov will play upfront, together making a solid 4-4-2 formation for them.
