We must take the game t them but have a strong core in midfield. If we deploy a 4 3 3 type system properly, ie plenty of flexibility particularly upfront, then we have every chance of doing a remarkable double.
I think their recent improvement is down to improved form from one or two players rather than the team as collective. Ballack seems to have re-discovered his mojo, and will need looking after.

Chelsea are far from unbeatable. They have character to spare, but I still think United are at least a slightly better side.
