There's definitely been a few monkey wrenches thrown into Sir Alex Ferguson's plans for the upcoming match with Chelsea at Old Trafford, Wayne Rooney not the least of them. Regardless of that, however, you'll find that United are still isted as the slim favourites to win the match with top UK bookmaker William Hill listing them at 13/8 against Chelsea's 9/5. The draw is available at 21/10 and that is going to prove a very popular option in my opinion.

The slimmest price is on the 1-1 draw, which trades at 5/1, while a 1-0 result in each direction pays 13/2.

United are 16/5 to win both legs of the half-time/full-time market while Chelsea trade at 7/2. Draw/United pays out at 11/2 which is the same price as Draw/Chelsea.
Didier Drogba is the favoured goalscorer in this fixture and he carries an odds-on price (the only player in the match listed at odds-on) of 10/11 while Dimitar Berbatov is set to take the reigns for Manchester United and he trades at even money to score anytime and 9/2 to score first or last. Berbatov is 11/2 to score 2 or more and 25/1 to hit a hat-trick. Mame Diouf is listed at 2/1 anytime and 7/1 first or last with Federico Macheda available at identical prices.
Owen Hargreaves is finally on a goalscorer betting slip for the first time in the longest time and, though he is not 100% confirmed to play, you get the feeling that the Canadian Crusader could be coming into the fray at just the right time. It's hard to forget that incredibly important free-kick against Arsenal a few years back and it would be something else if he made a similar impact in this crucial fixture. Owen Hargreaves trades at 33/1 to score first or last and 12/1 to score anytime.
For Chelsea, Nicolas Anelka and Frank Lampard are both listed at 2/1 anytime and 6/1 first or last. Salomon Kalou and Florent Malouda have both been playing well lately and are 11/4 and 4/1 to score anytime, rspectively.
The price on a penalty being awarded is very short-priced with a listing of 12/5 (it is usually around 3/1 or even 4/1) while no penalties is priced at 3/10. That penalty is 3/1 to be awarded and scored and 10/1 to be awarded and missed. Both sides are 19/2 to come from behind and win while they are both listed at 15/2 to come from behind and draw.
