| Betting Preview: | |
|
Chelsea could get off to a winning start against an under-strength Manchester United this afternoon. The Reds are without Christiano Ronaldo and Gabriel Heinze, while Ruud Van Nistlerooy is sidelined with a hernia injury.This will be United's third game in seven days, the last being a gruelling trip to Eastern Europe where they ground out a narrow victory against Dinamo Bucharest.United have won just one of their last four league matches at Stamford Bridge and may find it difficult against the best home defence, which shipped just 13 goals last season. |

| Bet Reaction: | | | This was not a vintage Chelsea performance by any means, but Manchester United's lack of a cutting edge saw the home side record their second 1-0 win against the Reds in as many seasons. | |
