Chelsea is the team that dominates in the FA Cup in recent years. Currently, Chelsea hasn`t got a single loss in their last 28 games in this tournament, which gives high confidence to Rafael Benítez` players. After it is certain that the Premier League title will be won by Manchester United, Chelsea is expected to be the more aggressive and ambitious team for the victory in this meeting, which will bring the team from London closer to a valuable title this season.
This will be the fourth clash between Chelsea and Manchester United this season and no doubt we can expect a spectacular battle. A total of 24 goals were scored in the four previous meetings between these two teams, an average of 6 goals per game. It is likely that once more we will witness a game with many goals.
Alex Ferguson has some slight problems with injured players, as Phil Jones, Paul Scholes and Darren Fletcher have injuries, while Rafael Benitez will be able to rely on all his top players. The hosts probably will start with the eleven that reached 2-2 after trailing 2-0 on half time at Old Trafford in the last match of the FA Cup. Alex Ferguson is possible to rely on Javier Hernández in attack as the player has a great performance in games against Chelsea - 6 goals in the last 7 matches.
