Match preview - Tues 1st Mar

A look ahead to Tuesday's fixture in the Barclays Premier League.

Chelsea host Manchester United in an eagerly-awaited re-arranged Barclays Premier League fixture at Stamford Bridge.
Carlo Ancelotti's side are 15 points behind United in the table and the Blues must win this match if they have any hope of catching their rivals at the top.
United's 4-0 win at Wigan Athletic on Saturday was just their fourth league victory on the road this campaign, and a fifth at Stamford Bridge could take them a step nearer to the title.

Chelsea v Manchester United

Chelsea go into the match with just one point from their last two Barclays Premier League outings.
They have lost three home league matches under Ancelotti which is more than they did in the five full seasons prior to the manager's arrival.
Blues forward Fernando Torres has a decent record against United, scoring three goals in his last four Premier League fixtures against them.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will be aware that this will be the second match United have played in three days, while Chelsea have had a week's rest.
The Red Devils have won none and lost five of their last eight matches at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League and they have failed to score in five of their last seven league visits to Chelsea's home.
