Man Utd vs Wolfsburg
Apoel Nicosia vs Chelsea
The Champions League is now warming up nicely, Chelsea and Manchester United are in action tonight. I'll be tuning into the Man Utd game tonight who are at home tonight against Wolfsburg. Although you'd expect Sir Alex's boys to deal with the Bundesliga champions, on Manutd.com there was an interesting quote from the Wolfsburg:
"Old Trafford is a special ground and Manchester United is a very special club," he told his pre-match press conference. "They have played over 150 games in this competition and we have only had a couple.
"But we will not hide and I won't be losing any sleep thinking about it. It is impossible to say for certain whether the players will be inspired or afraid.
"But I do know we cannot afford to wait until Manchester United have scored four or five goals before we start to impose our own style on the match."
I fancy Manchester United this season for the League but not for this competition.
Chelsea have a tricky away match at Apoel Nicosia after their dissapointing defeat at Wigan on the weekend. They have a few injuries but should crush this opposition who will be looking to contain Anelka and Drogba by defending deeply. However I expect Chelsea to win and remain top of Champions League Group D.
