It's hard to think of anyone with a worse record at Stamford Bridge than Manchester United, apart perhaps from Big Phil Scolari.

Four defeats and three draws in the last seven league meetings speaks of an oufit more uncomfortable on London soil than the BNP.

When I look at odds of 11-10 for Chelsea against Fergie's strugglers, I have to remember not to let my heart rule my head. My heart tells me to put my life savings on Blues - my head says don't be so stupid, I can afford a lot more than that.

The more I look at this fixture, the more Chelsea look certainties. I have looked at nothing else for three days.

New Daddy Cool Wayne Rooney, who played in midweek the day after his son Kai's birth, is 12-1 with Boylesports and Paddy Power to score against Chelsea and do a Bebeto-style baby celebration.

His missus Coleen was asked if she was worried about getting her figure back following the baby's birth and said she was more worried about getting the father back.

Roo was asked in the hospital on Tuesday what the new baby's name was and said he had no idea because he couldn't understand a word he said.

Blackburn v Portsmouth is an unappealing fixture, particularly if you're a Blackburn or Portsmouth fan, and looks a very good bet at evens with Stan James to be the last match shown on Match Of The Day on Saturday night. The only risk is that they won't bother showing it at all.
