As Chelsea and Manchester United prepare for the judgement day this Sunday, Live Soccer TV explains why Sir Alex's men are huge favourites to win.

A footballing feast is about to explode at Old Trafford this Sunday ahead of what seems like a justification of bragging rights for the English Premier League. The La Liga has often been regarded as the best league among the rest in recent times but Premier League has this level of excitement at the highest quality that no other league can provide.

I mean, at one point of the season, Manchester United were 15 points ahead of Chelsea in the title race with many of them even downplaying the Blues' chances of making it into the Premier League. But can we give a specific reason to what has recently transformed the Premier League? Carlo Ancelotti's men are back on track in a bid to defend their 'champions' status for another season.

However, we reckon that  their challenge could pretty  mich come to and end by this Monday. Why do we say so? Ladies and gentlemen, Live Soccer TV explains five key reason why Manchester United will reign supreme at Old Trafford

 

1. The Old Trafford Atmosphere

Any ideas on how Manchester United won the Champions League in 2008? Well, beating Chelsea was certainly a huge achievement but looking at what they did during the semi-finals was already something to credit them for. Beating Barcelona is never easy but Paul Scholes' solitary goal allowed them to bank on home support as they held on for a massive victory over Lionel Messi's Barca.

Go back a year and you will remember the Seven Star performance against AS Roma. United have this habit of proving themselves at home when it mattered the most. After all, it was the Italian side that came to Old Trafford with a lead in their hands. But what happened on that day remains a huge part of Man United's bombastic history.

Therefore, Sunday represents a huge deal of dignity and pressure on both sides. But the past, present and the future will always define United as the team that hits top form when it matters the most.

2. Chicharito's Combination With Wayne Rooney

Little Pea indeed is Javier Hernandez. The Mexican has been so impressive in his first season that not only has he drawn comparisons with Denis Law and Ole Gunner Solskjaer, former Mexico coash Javier Aguirre even described Hernandez as someone with the quality of Fernando Torres. Well not at his current form though.

But what makes hi presence super important to United's style of play? The combination between Wayne Rooney and him has been earning countless plaudits for their effectiveness on the pitch- something that allows United's midfield to work at its best. Rooney loves to roam around the field  and thats what he does best- losing his marker and ultimately feeding Hernandez into a creative positions which the Mexican normally doesn't miss.

And for this fact itself, Hernandez remains United's biggest threat on Sunday.

3. A Fresh And Fully Fit Squad

Talk about depth within football teams. you have to watch United's win over Schalke in midweek. Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans in the first team was enough to identify Sir Alex's prime intention. Chelsea was running throughout his mind and i don't blame him either for all the importance being placed on this encounter.

Nevertheless, that move has now presented himself with a fresh squad, as equal as Chelsea's one to compete and literally go for it. Normally when United have Ferdinand and Vidic at the back, not many things get past Edwin Van der Sar either. Better still, Ryan Giggs will return to the squad and the i would not hesitate on placing my money for the age-less playmaker to be pivotal on Sunday.

4. Chelsea's Desperation Could Benefit United's Stand

As important as Sunday's fixture can be, Chelsea will be the ones playing catch up at Old Trafford. United will readily accept a draw as it would not benefit Chelsea and therefore, they have sit back and rely on counter attacks to ultimately win the game.

A very good example would be their 4-1 victory over Schalke.  The German side were desperately in need of goals and Sir Alex's men took advantage by striking them on the counter attack. A simple and fundamental tactic that could benefit United's chances. A draw or win for United would do them good but as far as Carlo Ancelotti is concerned, nothing less than a win can be accepted.

5. The Form Of Antonio Valencia

Valencia has been an absolute revelation after returning from a massive leg injury midway through February. The return was so timely that he has been so influential in Manchester United's good form. And if there was a man to provide all the ammunition for Man United tomorrow, it has to be Valencia.

The Ecuadorian will be forced to do his bit of defensive work as well, especially with Ashley Cole bombarding the flanks as well. If Giggs can provide something like what Gibson did against Schalke for Valencia, expect to see another match-winning performance from the hardworking winger.
