Chelsea probably can’t retain their Premier League title this season, with the Blues sitting 15 points behind the Red Devils with just twelve games left to play this term.

However, Carlo Ancelotti’s team can put a serious dent in Manchester United’s title hopes, especially as they have to play the league leaders at Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford.

There is also the small matter of a place in next season’s Champions League up for grabs, with Chelsea finding themselves out of the top four right now thanks to Tottenham and Manchester City’s lofty position.

Fernando Torres is still looking for his first goal since arriving from Liverpool for £50 million and he has had plenty of joy against Nemanja Vidic in previous seasons, with the Serbian having made a habit of getting sent off in matches against Liverpool.

However, the Manchester United captain has refuted the fact that he can’t handle Torres.

“Sometimes you read people saying that certain players have a hard job to play against someone else,” said Vidic.

“Obviously, this is the opinion some people have (about him and Torres) because they always mention it.

“I don’t have a problem with that. I can only change it on the pitch, not by saying what I think in the media. It actually just makes me more focused to do my job.”

John Terry is focused on landing an important three points on Tuesday, telling The People: “It’s a must-win game. We’ve got a good record against them, especially at home, which we want to continue.

“If we beat United it puts pressure on them and other teams around us.”
