●Chelsea
Chelsea seemed to be on their way back up but after an extremely frustrating performance and defeat against Liverpool, the recovery has to be started all over again.
The plus point is that both Arsenal and Liverpool have managed better results in the last run of games than United which could mean that their points cushion might be ready to blow. Add the fact that they haven't faced Chelsea twice, are facing City this week and have lost their aura of invincibility and the title might not be heading to Old Trafford after all.
Chelsea on the other hand do have an improved squad and Torres and Luiz will undoubtedly have their proper tests this monday. All we need is a bit of luck and to start playing our 100% best.
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti is also without Yury Zirhkov, who is suffering from a calf injury and Yossi Benayoun, who is recovering from an Achilles injury. Alex is still not fit and Carlo has hinted a start for Luiz on monday. No further injuries reported as of yet even after the International friendlies.
●Fulham
Fulham's patchy form is similar to that of Chelsea.
Mark Hughes' side have also lost one, drawn one and won one in their last three league outings. Their most recent match ended in a 2-2 draw away to Aston Villa.
They did dispatch Tottenham 4-0 in the FA Cup fourth round on January 30, but have struggled to reproduce that kind of display in the Premier League.
The hosts will be without midfielder Dickson Etuhu and Bobby Zamora, who is nearing a return from the broken leg sustained against Wolverhampton Wanderers in September.
