Manchester United vs Chelsea in the Champions League Quarter Final

Manchester United vs Chelsea Preview: Manchester United will be hosting Chelsea for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Quarter final. Manchester United vs Chelsea live game will kick-off on April 12th at 18:45 GMT at the Old Trafford, England.

All other three quarter-finals finished with such scores, that playing a return game is a bit pointless.

Manchester United has been the most influential side in the Premier League this season, they have not lost any game at Old Trafford and they are still unbeaten in the Champions league. Man United grabbed a fabulous victory this weekend against Fulham with 2-0 score, and is now closer and closer to the Premier League title.

Manchester United has played sixteen Premier League games this season on Old Trafford. On home ground, Manchester United has won 15, drawn 1 and lost 0 games and this ranked the Red Devils 1st in home team performance in the English Premier League.
"Manchester United vs Chelsea 2011"Wayne Rooney was suspended and will not be available for this game, because of the game against West Ham, where he swore in front of the camera. Van der sar was also missing from the goal post, his place may be taken by Tomasz Kuszczak, and we saw Dimitar Berbatov as a starter for a first time in a month possibly.

Chelsea is a strong side and kept all hopes in this game. They have got more quality in the team front line of Fernando Torres, Didier Drogba and Nicloas Anelka but, at the moment none of them are clicking for the side. They have to pull up their socks and quick if they want to progress.

Chelsea has played sixteen Premier League games this season away from home. On away ground, Chelsea has won 6, drawn 5 and lost 5 games and this ranked the Blues 4th in away team performance in the English Premier League.

In the Champions League, Nicolas Anelka is second top scorer this season. The Blues 50 mi llion striker Fernando Torres has failed to score a goal in 11 games, since joining in January.

In this game, Manchester United is favorites but actually chances are pretty equal or at least in my opinion.

Possible staring line up:

Manchester United: Van der Sar; Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Giggs, Nani; Hernandez and Rooney.

Chelsea: Cech; Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole; Ramires, Essien, Lampard; Anelka, Drogba and Malouda.
