Match Preview
Louis van Gaal has urged Manchester United to "dare to play football" as they look to end a run of four straight defeats when they host Chelsea at Old Trafford.United suffered to a 2-0 Barclays Premier League defeat at Stoke City on Boxing Day,their fourth in a row in all competitions.The Dutchman even suggested after the match that he could consider stepping down should United lose at Old Trafford onMonday, although he remains in charge.With just two days to recover both physically and mentally after the Stoke loss, Van Gaal has called on his players to be brave against the BPL champions, who are unbeaten in five against United."You can say we can quickly get over this defeat by playing against Chelsea but in the time in between, you have to recover because the players have given everything," he told MUTV."Then you have to manage that you are very confident to start the Chelsea game, and that you dare to play football – our football! It is very difficult to do that in just two days but we shall try."Chelsea parted company with Jose Mourinho earlier this month but were forced to settle for a point against Watford in Guus Hiddink's first match back in interim charge, as Oscar missed a penalty in the 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.Hiddink has a strong record against Van Gaal, having beaten his AZ Alkmaar side three times with PSV Eindhoven in the 2005/06 season, and Willian says Chelsea's top-four hopes will remain alive if they can take maximum points from Old Trafford."I think we deserved to win. We played wellsecond half. We kept fighting and then we scored," he toldwww.chelseafc.comafter the Watford match."Now we have to rest and be ready for Monday. This situation is difficult for us but I think we can go and win game by game and finish the league in the top four."Chelsea's hopes of winning on the road forjust the second time in the league this season were dealt a blow when Diego Costa picked up a fifth booking of the campaign against Watford, ruling him out of the United match.Radamel Falcao could lead Chelsea's attack against the side he struggled with during last season's loan spell from Monaco, having shaken off a muscle problem. Eden Hazard is still battling for full fitness, though.United captain Wayne Rooney may be restored to the line-up after being benchedagainst Stoke, while Matteo Darmian (hamstring) could be fit to return and Bastian Schweinsteiger is back from suspension.Jesse Lingard (hamstring), Marcos Rojo (shoulder), Antonio Valencia (ankle) and Luke Shaw (leg) are out.Manchester United (from):De Gea, Romero, Johnstone, Valdes, Darmian, Jones, McNair, Smalling, Varela, Blind, Carrick, Fellaini, Herrera, Mata, Pereira, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Young, Depay, Martial, Rooney.Chelsea (from):Begovic, Blackman, Courtois, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Djilobodji, Ivanovic, Rahman, Terry, Zouma, Fabregas,Hazard, Loftus-Cheek, Matic, Mikel, Oscar, Ramires, Traore, Willian, Kenedy, Pedro, Falcao, Remy.

If u ask one of my friend about this fixture he will say '' two mumu mumu clubs dey play them sef'' lol...





Surprising what Van Gaal's team has turned to. Notin is working at the moment and worst of all they don't create chances and make attempts on goal. You can't win without making attempts and all of a sudden they seems to be worst than Chelsea at the moment.








Verdict; Even with all his players fit, Man united's performance doesn't seems to be improving under LVG. Good/average players have gone worse all because of a philosophy. Chelsea should have themselves to be blamed if they don't win this.

Man utd were praying to play Chelsea because Chelsea were in bad form ,as it stands now Chelsea need manutd badly.

today Louis van gaal is gone

Chelsea is taking all the 3 points

Two useless teams... Trust me, the referee is winnig this match

Oga Pamcode ai see u... Merry Xmas!! Btw, we ar winning dz KTBFF!

LIKE FOR CHELSEA...SHARE FOR MAN U..oya let the vote begins!

Lol, see this one.

As an ardent Man United supporter this is the first time in 18years (as a United fan) I wouldn't want my team to win.

I really want the negative outcome to force the board to relieve Mr Philosopher Van Gaal of his gaffer duties.

Manchester United and Chelsea have lost Premier League Fear Factor





















CHELSEA IS GRABBING ALL 3 POINTS from this encounter... As LVG is already set to be sacked and Mourinho dry warm up to continue from where him stop.....
