With everything settled by the end of this week the whole world will come to a standstill when two of the biggest clubs on the planet meet on the artificial turf at the Moscow stadium. The occassion is nothing less than Final of the biggest club cometition in Europe, the Champions League.

Manchester United & Chelsea were fighting for the the premiership till the very last game of a season full of roller-coaster rides for both the teams. But in the end the deserved team emerged victorious. But when the two teams meet at Moscow the will be very tight to call and none of the two teams can be considered as favourites.

Looking at the mental status of both the sides, confidence is running high for the Red Devils as they defeated none other than Chelsea itself to win the war for the premiership.Also there is one more unique boost for United as they have the sevices of Ronaldo who is arguabally the best player on the planet. For Chelsea it would be a revenge mission after loosing narrowly the league. They also have a great record over United in recent years. Especially the 2-1 win over United in which Chelsea emerged as worthy winners and could have scored many goals. So no teams should be low on morale and belief.

ADVANTAGE

UNITED 1-2 CHELSEA

Going by their journey to the Moscow, United have been far better and professional than Chelsea. United are still unbeaten in the competition and have scored more than Chelsea and also have conceded far less goals than Chelsea. One one hand United have had a tougher outing as they overcame Lyon, Roma and Barcelona. United were very proffesional in all of these games. Whereas on the other hand Chelsea overcame Olympiakos and Fenerbache and Liverpool. Chelsea were not at all convincing in many of these matches especially against Liverpool in which they were very lucky with the away goal and also not to concede a penalty when Hyppia went down in the box. Therefore as far as the form goes United have the edge.

ADVANTAGE

UNITED 1-0 CHELSEA

Let's look at what could decide the game. As we all expect it should be a cagey game and very tight to call and should be decided by a margin of a single goal. But I think it will take only one match winner to settle it.

Looking at match winners United have a big group withe likes of Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, Hargreaves, Scholes, Nani, Anderson or even Ferdinand. Chelsea have their own group with Lampard, Drogba, Ballack, Joe Cole, Essien or Cech. So it is preety even when it comes to the no. of match winners but here also United have the edge over Chelsea in terms of quality of match winners.

ADVANTAGE

UNITED 2-1 CHELSEA

In terms of manager fight both the manager have a balanced record over each other but the experience of Sir Alex could prove vital and decisive.

ADVANTAGE

UNITED 2-1 CHELSEA

Considering the overall form of the two teams both the teams have worked very hard and never gave up their title hopes till the last moment. But United scored more goals and conceded very few.

ADVANTAGE

UNITED 2-1 CHELSEA

OVERALL ADVANTAGE

UNITED 8-5 CHELSEA.

But in the end it will be one moment which will decide the outcome. It could be a magic rom Ronaldo,Rooney,Scholes,Tevez or Drogba,Lampard,Ballack,Joe Cole. Or it could be one mistake from Carvalho or Wes Brown that proves to be decisive. Or the most important, a decision from the referee.

The stage is set , the teams are ready. Like they say Winner takes it all.

My Prediction

UNITED 2-1 CHELSEA
