Chelsea go into this game on the back of a good pre-season tour of the USA. The Blues managed to beat AC Milan and Inter, before defeating Seattle Sounders. New manager Carlo Ancelotti will have been impressed with his sides attacking threat and ability to create chances and will be hoping they can carry that form in to this game.

Chelsea are likely to continue using the 4-4-2 diamond formation which they have used during pre-season, instead of the 4-4-3 favoured by previous managers at Stamford Bridge. Russian winger Zury Zhirkov is likely to make his competitive debut on the left side of the midfield diamond, alongside Frank Lampard, Michael Essien and John Obi Mikel. Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka are set to start up front.

Manchester United won every game of their pre-season Asia tour, scoring goals freely strikers Dimitar Berbatov, Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen and Federico Macheda all getting on the scoresheet. United like Chelsea, are set to undergo a change of tactic this season, with Sir Alex Ferguson set to switch to a rigid 4-4-2 formation. The loss of World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo will prove a blow, but United still have fantastic attacking options.

United will give competitive debuts to new signings Michael Owen and Antonio Valencia. Valencia is likely to start this game on the right side of United’s midfield and Owen is set to start alongside former England teammate Wayne Rooney up front. The two forged a productive partnership at international level and Sir Alex Ferguson is banking on the two hitting it off again.
