To help you on your way, here is some friendly insiders advice from Pickive:
Top Chelsea Pick:Michael Essien
Perceived media wisdom states that if United avoid defeat this evening, then they could well be Champions. The upshot of that is clear; United will make the game as tight, tense and downright scrappy as possible – leaving the Ghanian powerhouse embroiled in a real midfield dogfight. It is in games like this that Essien is at his best, breaking up play and roaring into tackles. He should be one of Chelsea’s top Picklive performers tonight.
Top United PickWayne Rooney
The Rooney of the last two weeks has been unrecognisable from the frustrated and lethargic figure that came back from South Africa. Not only is he back amongst the goals but he once again seems to be the creative hub of this United side. Playing just off Berbatov I imagine, his willingness to drop deep to collect the ball should see him influence the game greatly.
One to Avoid
Fernando Torres
Whereas Rooney is clambering steadfastly out of a rut, Torres remains well and truly in one. There were green shoots of recovery against Copenhagen, however he is a shadow of the man who has terrorised United in the past. Drained completely of pace and confidence, an in form Vidic should be able shackle him out of the game. (eChelseaFC does not agree I think he is someone you should back)
