Chelsea host Manchester United in a crucial table-topping battle at Stamford Bridge.

Three points for the West London side would see them level with Sir Alex Ferguson's side on 81 points with two games remaining, a position that many Chelsea fans would not have even dared dreaming of following José Mourinho's shock departure in September.

Chelsea's home record against the Red Devils is excellent, and Chelsea’s 80-game unbeaten run at Stamford Bridge in the league is testament to that fact. A victory over their great northern rivals would see the Blues right on course for a European and domestic double, following Wednesday’s excellent 1-1 draw at Anfield.

This is the third meeting between the top two this season, and the second in the Premier League. Chelsea were beaten 2-0 at Old Trafford in Avram Grant’s first game in charge of the club, and were also defeated 3-0 on penalties after a 1-1 stalemate in the Community Shield, but goalkeeper Petr Cech has spoken about his team’s chances in confident mood.

“We have got a pretty good record at Stamford Bridge, so we hope to keep that going,” said the Czech international, who also hopes to meet United in the final of the Champions League.

However, the mood around the camp is not totally upbeat following the death of Pat Lampard. Frank Lampard looks set to miss the United clash, though Michael Ballack is set to start after missing out against Everton.

Can the Blues pull off the performance of the season to beat United?
