According to who?
Nick Coppack: Rooney and Hernandez start. Rio and Vidic at the back. Park, Valencia, Giggs, Carrick in midfield.
Rio?! This is madness.
No Nani 
Park Val Giggs Carrick in the middle

4-4-2 ? Brave !
No scholes and Nani is a tad surprising. Always knew Rio would start though.

Nani and Scholes must be injured.
Where is the midfield?
4-5-1 with Rooney wide left?
Does anyone else remember what happened last time Nani was randomly dropped against Chelsea
Very surprised that Nani hasnt started the last 2 games
I find that tough to believe. Its an incredibly agressive team for a CL away to Chelsea.
Its going to be an exciting game if that line-up is right though.

Very likely
Giggs in the middle? Prefer Scholes. Is he injured?
I bloody well hope not. Rooney behind hernandez i'd like to think
It could easily be Rooney on the left with Giggs, Park and Carrick in the middle.
I'm not quite happy with midfield, but I'm just a poor supporter and in Fergie I trust.
Yet again no Nani
Stuff the chavs !! Overdue SB win tonight.
No Nani? Hm, he still carrying that injury?
Good line up, though I am surprised at 4-4-2, unless Rooney is playing off the left.

Welcome back Park. Big game player.
Carrick needs to perform. Where's Nani?

That's a very attacking team, but Park and Valencia add a lot of physicality to the side. Good team.
Suddenly got very nervous.
Come on United.
Hernandez to terrorise Chelsea defence.

Zhirkov is a worry. Goes down far far too easily.
Bench:Kuszczak, Berbatov, Smalling, Nani, Gibson, Scholes, Evans
Don't understand Nani and Scholes out. Nani has been our best player this season.

Nani to kill the game coming on the pitch in second half.
Scholes and Nani on the bench
Where is Anderson?
Think Nani has just been unlucky with the fact Fergie wanted Hernandez and Rooney on the pitch together so much. Park and Valencia just offer that bit more defensively. Hoping this is a 4-5-1 and not a 4-4-2 or we will be overrun in the middle again.
Says a lot about Hernandez and his big first season with us. What an impact he's had. Who would've thought at the start of the season that Hernandez would start such a game?
Lacks a bit of height. The alternatives weren't exactly great though.
