Very big game today in Manchester, life and death for both who are looking for the 3 points for their own points each. City must stay alive in the title hunt and Chelsea will have to fight for fourth place and today that goal can be lost for both depending on tonight's result.
The tie does not favor anyone and will probably mean bad luck for both as with United already 4 points ahead even X leaves City far behind and considering the relatively easy program that Tottenham and Arsenal have today against in an indifferent Stoke and a pale Everton respectively. I believe that today in the game both teams will be strong for the victory from the first minute and now no one can have written off Chelsea which after the departure of Villa Boas shows if it has been reborn and indeed did not happen overnight in But another sub-team is now coming out on the field with confidence and a determination that we had to see for a long time now in the faces of the Blues players. In the home camp, things are more or less known, no one can reduce the quality that City has, nor the ability that this class has to have on the field.
The problems for the hosts strengthen my belief in the point I have chosen and they hear in the names of the backs Lescott and Kompany also doubtful are Bari and Zambaleta. For the guests the absence is one and good in fact and that is Terry.
I personally expect an open game thanks to the need for points and I do not think that two ready offensive teams will not find the way to the net against wounded defenses. So let's go with the over2,5 which at prices above 1,80 for me is satisfactory.
