The English derby in the quarter finals of Champions League, between Chelsea and Manchester United.
Chelsea have been drawn 7 times against English opponents, 6 times in the knockout stage of the tournaments. Out of those six, Chelsea has advanced three times. Chelsea’s new purchases Luiz and Torres will not be able to participate in this game, since they already participated in European tournaments with other teams (Benfica, Liverpool). While Torres hasn’t be useful at all for the Blues for now, David Luiz however has scored already 2 goals, and has been outstanding on the back of Chelsea.
Chelsea has been unbeaten against Manchester United on Stamford Bridge for the past 9 years, winning 6 and drawing 3 of the 9 games.
Manchester United, has won all 4 games when they have been drawn against English opposition. Sir Alex has lost all of his 3 Premier Leagues against Carlo Ancelotti. The team posses the best goalkeeper Van der sar who has saved 93% of the shots on his target. Petr Cech follows with 90%.

Chelsea has lost only 2 of the last 41 Champions League games on Stamford Bridge, while Manchester United has lost only one of the last 21 Champions League away games.
This will be an interesting game, Chelsea having the home field advantage. While anything can happen as the games between Manchester United and Chelsea have always been sort of a 3 way match, let’s face it Chelsea needs a victory here. I am willing to back the Blues at this time, since in the most recent game against United, in which Chelsea came out on top with the score 2:1.
