Man Utd v Chelsea Barclays Premier League Venue: Old Trafford Date: Saturday, 3 April 2010 Kick-off: 1245 BST (台灣時間 4/3 19:45) 直播頻道 (((((((((( 台灣衛視體育台 Live )))))))))) 上海體育、ESPN(亞洲)、香港NOW寬頻632、超級體育3 TEAM NEWS Owen Hargreaves could return to the Manchester United bench after 19 months out with a knee injury, while John O'Shea could also return. Wayne Rooney, injured in midweek, will be replaced by Dimitar Berbatov. Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti will recall Didier Drogba, who has recovered from a knock that prevented him from training earlier this week. Drogba's return could mean Joe Cole drops to the bench, with Nicolas Anelka taking up a deeper role. Manchester United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand, Neville, Fabio, de Laet Park, Valencia, Fletcher, Carrick, Hargreaves, Scholes, Nani, Gibson, Giggs Berbatov, Macheda, Diouf Injured: Anderson (knee), Brown & Welbeck (both metatarsal), Owen (hamstring), Rooney (ankle) Chelsea (from): Cech, Hilario, Turnbull, Kalou, Alex, Drogba, Malouda, Terry, Borini, Lampard, Obi, Deco, Anelka, Zhirkov, J Cole, Belletti, Ballack, Kakuta, Sturridge, Ferreira, Bruma, Van Aanholt. Injured: Bosingwa, Essien & Ivanovic (all knee), Carvalho & A Cole (both ankle) MATCH PREVIEW - April could prove to be the cruellest month, at least for Manchester United fans. The Red Devils could be without star man Wayne Rooney for three crucial weeks after he damaged ankle ligaments in Tuesday's Champions League loss at Bayern Munich. - Rooney now faces an anxious wait to see if United's pursuit of Premier League and Champions League glory falters in his absence. - While Sir Alex Ferguson has lost his biggest goal threat, the headache for Carlo Ancelotti is how to find room for both of his front-line strikers. Perversely, Chelsea have produced some of their best performances without leading scorer Didier Drogba. His absence allows Nicolas Anelka to play a more advanced role, which in turn gives Frank Lampard more space in midfield. - Drogba was not involved in either of the Blues' seven-goal victories this season (against Aston Villa and Sunderland). Chelsea also had few problems coping without him during the Africa Cup of Nations, winning all five of their league and cup games in January. But with 10 goals in his last eight league games, dropping Drogba is not an option. - Ancelotti may feel now is a good time to visit Old Trafford, scene of his win in the 2003 Champions League final with AC Milan. The Red Devils have lost three of the four league games that have followed European away games this season. - The Italian, who has won five of his last six meetings with Sir Alex Ferguson, says Rooney's injury is a boost to Chelsea's title hopes, but he knows better than most that United will fight to the finish. Ancelotti was the Juventus coach when the Red Devils famously clawed back a two-goal deficit in Turin to reach the 1999 Champions League final. MATCH FACTS Head-to-head ‧ Chelsea and Man United have met 35 times in the Premier League, with the Blues winning 11, the Red Devils 10 and 14 games drawn. ‧ Manchester United are unbeaten in their last four home league games against Chelsea, winning three of those. The Blues' last win at Old Trafford was 3-1 on 10 May 2005. Man Utd ‧ The Red Devils have won nine of their last 11 league games, scoring 30 goals in the process. The 3-1 loss at Everton is their only defeat in 14 top-flight games. ‧ Manchester United have won their last nine league games without Wayne Rooney, a run stretching back to December 2008. ‧ The Red Devils have conceded only nine league goals in 16 league games at Old Trafford this season.

MOST RECENT MEETING Chelsea 1-0 Man Utd (8 November 2009) Chelsea scorer: Terry 76 M.E.N Prediction: United 2-1 Chelsea - United should rally in Rooney's absence and Chelsea are understrength themselves Key opponent: Didier Drogba - powerhouse forward one of the best forwards in the world Skysports.com prediction: Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea One to Watch: Dimitar Berbatov Lawro's predictions Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea Man Utd have suffered a massive blow after losing top scorer Wayne Rooney to injury. It means Dimitar Berbatov will definitely play and maybe Federico Macheda, who made such an impact on the title race last season, could be involved. Seemingly there are no such worries up front for Chelsea, who have rattled in 12 goals in their last two games. But it will be close - I can see this being a draw. And I think that would be acceptable for United, who will want to absorb the loss of Rooney and ensure they do not lose to their title rivals. 前瞻：切爾西曼聯中文官網 http://tinyurl.com/yjwr8rl 所有人都很期待賽季最重要的一戰，紅魔將在主場迎戰切爾西…… 雙方近況：切爾西最近狀態很好，過去2場對陣維拉和樸茨茅斯的比賽，他們一共打進12球。蘭帕德在對陣維拉打進4球後，在英超的進球數已經突破100大關。雙方都需要3分去爭奪聯賽冠軍，曼聯在周中輸給拜仁後，尋求反彈，上週末的聯賽，貝爾巴托夫梅開二度幫助紅魔4-0大勝博爾頓。傷停情況：魯尼因為在不敵拜仁的比賽腳踝受傷受傷將會缺陣。其他缺陣的球員還包括布朗、歐文、安德森和奧謝。哈格裡夫斯已經在一線隊恢復訓練。切爾西也有很多傷兵，卡瓦略、伊萬諾維奇、阿什利科爾、埃辛和博辛瓦都肯定缺陣，希拉裡奧出戰成疑。德羅巴雖然錯過2次訓練課程，但他肯定能上陣。焦點球星：德羅巴將領銜藍軍的鋒線，他能給世界最佳後衛帶來麻煩。這位科特迪瓦前鋒本賽季在所有比賽已經打進30球，他跟阿內爾卡有默契的配合，另外馬盧達在過去2場比賽打進4 球也很有威脅。對手主帥：安切洛蒂十分呢瞭解執教豪門的壓力。在去年夏天來到斯坦福橋前，他在米蘭執教了 8年。在聖西羅，他曾在2003年和2007年兩次贏得歐冠，他還帶領米蘭在2004年贏得意甲冠軍。在切爾西，他的執教成績也沒有令人失望，雖然在歐冠被國米淘汰，但他仍有機會爭奪英超和足總杯兩項錦標。裁判：迪恩本賽季執法過2場曼聯的比賽，對曼城的聯賽杯半決賽首回合以及3-1擊敗阿森納的聯賽。本賽季他一共執法過35場比賽，出示了124黃7紅。競爭對手比賽：排名第三的阿森納將對陣狼隊，他們的隊長法佈雷加斯將肯定缺陣。 http://tinyurl.com/yfsgqsl http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/8599045.stm http://www.skysports.com/football/match_preview/0,19764,11065_3151500,00.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8598646.stm -- ★ ╔╦═╮╔╮ ╭╔╮ ╭╔╦═╮ ╔╮╔╮╭╦═╮╔╮═╮ ☆ ☆ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║╠╣ ║╠╣ ║ ╠╣╠╣╠╬═╣╠╣ ║ ★ ★ ╰╝╰╯╰╝═╯╰╝═╯╚╯═╯ ╰╰╯╯╰╝ ╰╰╝ ╰ ☆ ☆ SCORING MACHINE︰ Ruud van Nistelrooy ★ ╔╮═╮╭╦╦╮╭╦═╮╭╦╦╮╔╦═╮╔╮ ╔╦═╮╭╦═╭═╦╮╮ ╔╮ ╠╣ ║ ╠╣ ╚╩╦╮ ╠╣ ╠╬╣ ╠╣ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║ ╠╣╚═╬╣ ╰╝ ╰╰╩╩╯╰═╩╝ ╚╝ ╚╩═╯╰╩═╯╰╝╰╯╰╩═╯═╩╯╰═╩╝ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.38.51.96
