Count Down To The Big Clash

This time last season Chelsea had a 10 point lead over Man Utd and when they met at Old Trafford, this i dont really like to remember. Coming 2nd in the Premiership when if only that Russian hadnt shown up, we would be winning our 9th and 10th titles.
Anyway,
A year on and things have changed dramatically, United have had a blistering start to the season, their best ever under Sir Alex Ferguson, and lead the EPL by 3 points from Chelsea.

At 4 pm on Sunday(write this down if u dont already know) things will heat up to boiling point as we meet again. 6 clear is the reward if Chelsea can be beaten, although i feel that a draw would be quite satisfactory also, a loss could be disasterous.

Peter Kenyon the ex-Man U and current Chelsea chief executive, the traitor that couldnt sign Ronaldinho, has tried to play down the game on Sunday saying it isn't a title decider and that Chelsea have yet to reach their peak this season. Sounds allot like defeatist talk to me, probably having seen United dominate Celtic to such an extent away from home on Tuesday might have sent some worry into the Chelsea camp who haven't look as solid as they did last season. With Chelsea's 1st team goalkeeper still injured it looks to be a great chance for us to snatch a victory.

Only time will tell which team will come off the victors, don't miss it, it should be a great game.

Below is a clip of the winning goal in the same fixture last season.
