Chelsea v Man Utd
When: Sunday 5 August
Kick-off: 1500 GMT, Wembley
News:
Manchester United skipper Gary Neville is still suffering from the ankle injury that saw him miss the end of last season.
Paul Scholes, Louis Saha and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are injured, new signings Owen Hargreaves and Anderson will not be involved.
Ankle injuries deprive Chelsea of Wayne Bridge and Michael Ballack, while a knee injury keeps Salomon Kalou out.
Arjen Robben, Frank Lampard and England defender Ashley Cole are available.
Lineup (expected)
Chelsea: (from) Cech, Cudicini, Hilario, Ferreira, A Cole, Diarra, Sidwell, Essien, Lampard, Robben, Mikel, Malouda, J Cole, Drogba, Shevchenko, Ben Haim, Pizarro, Terry, Carvalho.
Man Utd: (from) Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Brown, Bardsley, Pique, Simpson, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, Silvestre, Evra, Ronaldo, Fletcher, O'Shea, Carrick, Eagles, Giggs, Rooney.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
So who do you think is going to win? I'm a Newcastle fan so it doesn't really matter to me - I just want to see a good game without Drogba's and Ronaldo's professional diving.
