Man United and
Chelsea have been the top two teams in the
Premier League over
the past few seasons, tomorrow they go head-to-head at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea is the on form team
and they will be very dangerous, especially up front tomorrow. Man United on the other hand haven't
been in the best of form and are looking shaky, especially at the back.

Blog United 06 November @ 10:34 AM EST
Wayne Rooney may be a legend to some already, but on paper and in the history books he is
overshadowed by names such as Ryan Giggs, Bobby Charlton, Jack Rowley and George Best.
Giggs, 34, is the most decorated player in the Premier League's history and tops the club's
appearance charts having played in an amazing 816 (and counting) matches for the club in a career
spanning nearly 20 years.

After eleven league games it looks as if Chelsea and Manchester United will be the two sides
battling for the title through the course of the season. Liverpool look to be all but out of it
already, questions still remain as to whether Arsenal can maintain their form throughout the
campaign and Man City have lost ground following a run of draws.

Wayne Rooney has again reiterated his love for our club, claiming he wants to spend the rest of
his career here and hopefully get somewhere near Ryan Giggs' appearance record.
"I have always said I would love to end my career at this club," said Rooney. "If I
can get anywhere near what Ryan has done it would be an amazing achievement because I regard him as
the perfect role model.

Does it get much better?
Manchester United visits Chelsea this weekend with first place on the line.
I could stop there, but then this wouldn't be much of a preview, would it?

Manchester United booked its passage to the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League in
dramatic and somewhat embarrassing fashion. If a side like CSKA Moscow can come to Old Trafford and
score goals in the manner they did, I don't think the Special One at Inter Milan or Barcelona's Pep
Guardiola will be having sleepless nights worrying about United's threat to their title hopes.

Tonight with a win,
Man United could qualify for the next stage of the
Champions
League. United could be without five first team regulars. Dimitar Berbatov, Nemanja Vidic, Rio
Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs are all struggling with injuries. Wayne Rooney may also be absent due to
his wife giving birth to their first child yesterday.

So Jozy Altidore was dropped for showing up to a Hull City game late. Then he was fined for
tweeting an apology for being late.
Not a good day for the youngster.
Maybe some links will cheer him up.

VfL Wolfsburg vs Besiktas
Last year's Bundesliga champions have been disappointing this season. They have only shown
glimpses of the wonderful attacking football that we were all spoiled with this past year.
Grafite is back from a club-enforced break following his red card against Besiktas a fortnight
ago.

Man United striker
Wayne Rooney has missed training today ahead of United's Champions

There is a good chance that Wayne will be missing for the game tomorrow.

After the 2-0 loss to Liverpool in the
Premier League last weekend,
Man United really
needed a win against
Blackburn Rovers. United were without the injured trio of Rio
Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs and Nemanja Vidic.
The Man United starting XI was- Edwin Van Der Sar, John O'Shea, Wes Brown, Jonny Evans, Patrice
Evra, Luis Nani, Anderson, Michael Carrick, Antonio Valencia, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov.

After the effective, if not inspiring, performance of the second string in the Carling Cup
earlier in the week, normal service resumes this weekend as United face Blackburn in the Premier
League.
Rovers enjoyed a relatively safe passage into the quarter finals of that competition that none
of the big guns tend to take very seriously the League Cup themselves on Tuesday night although
Saturday should prove a much tougher hurdle for Sam Allardyce and his swine flu-hit charges to
negotiate.

After beating Barnsley 2-0 on Tuesday,
Man United carries on with they're Premier League

I really have only one thing to say about yesterday's performance. My girlfriend and I were out

nervous/if she should avoid being in the apartment Sunday morning and I (like an idiot) told her

Anfield Talk 25 October @ 02:02 PM EST
Fernando Torres and substitute David Ngog left Manchester United reeling as Liverpool brilliantly
halted their four-game losing streak.
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez had said prior to the game that one win would change everything, and
what a result his team delivered to ease the pressure on the Spaniard.

Man United manager
Sir Alex Ferguson has said that the
England International
team needs striker
Wayne Rooney more than Manchester United do. Rooney is a definite starter
for both teams. As an England and Man United supporter, I would also say that England needs Rooney
more.

As Michael Owen prepares to go back to Anfield as a United player, another player to break the
unwritten rule, Paul Ince, has reflected on his respect for Sir Alex Ferguson, their fallings out
and why he left the club.
"I was playing golf with Ryan Giggs in 1995 when the phone rang. It was Fergie telling me he
was at the clubhouse," said Ince.

Tomorrow
Man United take on a
Liverpool side who have been beaten four times in a
row. Form goes out of the window because it is such a massive game. Last weeks 1-0 loss for
Liverpool and 2-1 win for United will be thrown out of the window.
Liverpool played at Anfield on Tuesday night whilst Man United had to fly to Russia to play CSKA
Moscow on Wednesday.

Could there really be a better time to beat Liverpool? If there is, I'd like to know the
scenario. The struggles of our bitter rivals have certainly been well documented over the past few
days as they endure their worst sequence of results for some 22 years.
Victory for United at Anfield on Sunday would signify Liverpool's fifth straight defeat and
would open up the gap between the two sides to 10 points in the Premier League.

Rafa Benitez, prior to substantial weight and facial hair gain
I. Manchester
United @ Liverpool: A must win game for under fire manager Rafa Benitez, but one that if he

There is history, here. England's two greatest football clubs lining up on the hallowed turf of

The former Anfield stalwart concedes his old club have been in terrible form but suggests it is
almost unthinkable Rafa Benitez's side will lose their fifth straight game.

Without setting the world alight, Manchester United proved again how far we have come in Europe
over the past few years. Of course, you could argue the two appearances in the last two European
Cup finals already have shown that, but it's results like the one last night in Moscow that do it
for me.

Manchester United vs CSKA Moscow
I believe there is some drama to be had from Group B and I expect this fixture to provide it.
The table at the moment has United with six points and then Wolfsburg and Moscow with three
points.
When United visit Russia they will have a difficult task on their hands.

Minus Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Darren Fletcher, Ji Sung Park, and Patrice Evra. All key
players. Which should bolster CSKA's chances.
But the one adage after all these years - you count out Man Utd at your own peril. And Juande
Ramos will do well to heed this advice. By the way, Ramos has been busy with extracurricular
activities, including writing a non-fiction piece aimed at business executives.

United have got off to a good start to the season. We have suffered one defeat to Burnley and a

Champions League.
