Chelsea's form has improved somewhat over the last few weeks, but despite how close they ran us in the league I still think there are problems in the side. Weaknesses that can be exploited. The defence can be got at far more easily than last season, Cech doesn't look quite so invincible, the wingers don't offer quite as much as they used to.
Lots of reasons to be confident going into this. United are rightly favourites.

The problem is that there aren't that many channels to exploit. They've got pretty good fullbacks, which means that we can't get behind their defence from the wings, and the midfield is usually quite congested. We do need that space in the absence of any defence splitting passes.
Scholes and Carrick need to pull out some real beauties.
