EPL Preview: Chelsea vs Man United

For all the Premier League fans around the world, the Chelsea vs Man Utd fixture is regarded as the pinnacle of English League football, and rightly so.

Without exception, these two teams have managed to secure the EPL Crown in the last seven seasons.

This season is certainly different from the previous ones as Chelsea will not  actually be challenging Man Utd for the title.

Even though the title still remains mathematically possible for Carlo Ancelotti's side, the chances of Chelsea remaining in the title race look extremely remote.

Nonetheless, the game is going to be extremely significant simply because of the fact that it will be deciding the destination of the title.

Chelsea have the opportunity to do favour to their North London rivals, Arsenal by winning against Man Utd tomorrow.

However, it will be the last thing on Carlo Ancelotti's mind as he is fighting for his job as Chelsea manager.Chelsea showed some signs of recovery in the Champions League match against FC Copenhagen and it was mostly down to the change in formation.

The switch to 4-4-2 worked well against the Danes, but the chances of it working against an extremely talented side like Manchester United appear to be remote.

The return to 4-3-3 might also be on the cards mainly to satisfy Didier Drogba, who has been on the bench in favour of Fernando Torres.Man Utd will probably have the easiest of tasks after they won convincingly against Wigan.

Given the fact that this is an away game, Alex Ferguson will probably be setting his side in order to not lose the match. Fernando Torres looks certain to start for Chelsea, while Manchester United could be without Rio Ferdinand yet again.

Ryan Giggs, however, is expected to return to the starting line-up to provide experience.
