These games almost always turn out to be far less entertaining than the build-up with defensive attitudes ruling over any pre-match attacking rhetoric.
United kept 21 clean sheets in the league this season the joint highest total in the English top flight ... along with Chelsea.
Since 2003-04 these sides have met 10 times, and on seven occasions there have been less than 3 goals, with 6 home wins, 3 draws and a Chelsea away win in 2005.
With neither side having a home advantage this time, and so much at stake, I just do not see many chances in the game early on and would look to choose one variant of a bet based on an expectation of a low scoring game.
PICKS : (choose one)
either DRAW at halftime - 2.05 at Interwetten
or First GOAL after 30 minutes - 2.10 at Bet365
