It will be 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1. The soak and strike strategy should do the trick with the back 4 playing deep in defence. Chelsea has some of the fastest strikers in the premier league in Hazard, Willain and Torres. It makes no sense to put on an attacking line-up when you neither have the class nor the form to beat them.
I dun think they even have the numbers to field a second team of youngsters. They'll probably be hammered till they turn blue. Besides, they'll only be setting themselves up to scrutiny and criticism by the FA and the title chasers in the league.
If the game is to go either way, it will probably come from a set piece. My best bet is a draw but much depends on the players the manager selects.
ccb, towards the end of last season, you already recommended that Man Utd get Strootman from PSV.
Now that he has gone to Roma for about 15 million euros and playing well for champions league chasing Roma in Serie A, Mousey Moysey apparently looking at him and Pjanic. And also reportedly looking at Vidal, Pogba and Marchisio of potential champions Juventus. Someone should go and tell that Mousey that players like these at top clubs ain't gonna move, including Fabregas and Koke. It's players like Strootman when he was at PSV, who would be willing to move to Man Utd.
