Oh feck, I am so nervy now, it's unbearable. I had not been worried about this game at all for the entire week since Barca, and now all of a sudden it's like a release of nervous energy and tension.
No matter what people say, defeat is not an option. It was be a momentum checker at a vital phase of the season. We have to play naturally and attack. It sounds obvious, but if we try to play for a draw, it will most likely go tits up. I have never rated Avram Grant, but I have this funny, awful feeling that he could be about to achieve one of the greatest sporting flukes ever.
We have had the day less rest, but should be fairly confident after our clean sheet in the Nou Camp. The reversion to this seasons first choice back five should add to that confidence. Getting Hargreaves and Anderson in alongside Carrick will really give us extra energy in midfield. Get Nani or Giggs in for Park and I think we have the makings of a team which can hold Chelsea from scoring and also a side that can carve good openings.

Chelsea, like ourselves, have not been producing good football of late, but they keep keeping themselves on our coat tails. Drogba, Essien, Ballack, Cole... those are players who can produce an important moment.
