There may only be one Premier League fixture tonight but it’s one of huge significance, both for our Fantasy Football fortunes and on the destination of the Premier League title. Manchester United are the visitors, and Chelsea are the hosts.

With Chelsea fifteen points adrift and having a turbulent season, it’s United who are looking to edge closer to that 19th Premier League trophy. More importantly of course, it’s United who are featuring in their second game of the gameweek, meaning most of us are loaded up with their players.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open for business, and the team sheets are in…

Chelsea XI: Cech, Ivanovic, David Luiz, Terry, Cole, Essien, Lampard, Ramires, Anelka, Torres, Malouda

Man United XI: Van der Sar, O’Shea, Smalling, Vidic, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes, Nani, Hernandez, Rooney

Sir Alex has named his first unchanged team since May 2008 (thanks Shreevesy), meaning Dimitar Berbatov is once again left in favour of Mexican sensation Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez.

As for the Champions, and they also leave a big name striker on the bench in Didier Drogba, with Carlo Ancelotti clearly hoping Fernando Torres’ supposed hoodoo over Nemanja Vidic surfaces tonight.

        You fell for that did you?! He was obviously doing that so it wasn't quite so obvious that he was being subbed before he got sent off.

        I don't know what got into him in the second half. His reaction to scoring was trying to hack the shit out of everyone and everything, totally bizarre.

            No its not if they win they win of if they lose they lose.

            Its more along the lines accepting the result moving on, accepting the refs are incompetent and not making a pathetic fool of myself by trying to spin some nonsense about a conspiracy against United . Then lauding it over posters regarding trophies (Which is normal and fine) but you mention it so so many times as if you yourself won them.

            Akers, did you just have the front to call someone plastic?

            Correct me if I'm wrong but you live up North don't you?

            At least AP and Granny have an excuse.

            Where are you from Akers?

            You call him a plastic fan but it's better to at least be able to remove yourself from your bias enouhg to not come across like a complete tw*t.

            Your stance on all things united is embarassing to be honest.

              He's a northerner that doesn't set foot into Old Trafford because he has to buy food and pay bills lol.

              I bet he wishes he never threw the plastic word around now.
