Chelsea United.
Chelsea are in sixth place and are starting to feel a little bit adrift, especially with Liverpool winning last week.
They have not got a huge margin of error between now and the end of the season, if they are to, as Liam McSenior says, still believe, how dare you ask me that question, to get into that top five and into the Champions League, which would be an utter failure, once again, on their part.
They're playing at home to a Manchester United team who lost on Monday night and probably looked a little bit more like the old Manchester United than we've seen under Michael Carrick.
United aren't miles out of things as well.
Everybody kind of fancies them to take out points, but they can't afford to go on a losing streak.
They can't afford to go and do what they would have done at this stage last season, or they will fall out at top five as well.
How do you see this one going?
Chelsea's form is completely, completely absent.
But I suppose there is a sort of a feeling they could turn it around at any point.
Not that I necessarily buy it.
Yeah, what would you have done though?
Because they knew obviously it was a late...
Like, do you see anything... You watched that game last Sunday against Man City.
Do you see anything redemptive in Chelsea or any signs of what they're trying to do?
Because I don't.
I'm completely bereft with them.
I think it's worse they're getting every single week at this age.
Yeah, best about to find his form, Luke Shaw's going to be in trouble.
Yeah.
