Fergie Set To Ring Changes For Visit Of Chelsea

Manchester United made light work of Schalke at Old Trafford with a second string side and Sir Alex Ferguson now looks ahead to his tie with Chelsea on Sunday. Hills offer 11/10 that just two of Wednesday’s starting XI take to the field at the start of the weekend’s big match and 11/1 that four or more do so. Following Manuel Neuer’s capitulation in front of the Old Trafford crowd, Hill’s have lengthened the odds of him starting United’s first game of next season to 8/1 from 11/2. The odds suggest that if Fergie is to bring in another keeper, it will more than likely be David De Gea, who is 9/4 to start United’s first game of next season.

“Fergie obviously had one eye on Sunday’s game when naming his side against Schalke and the odds suggest that he will ring the changes against Chelsea,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

United are the 7/5 favourites to win on Sunday, while Chelsea are offered at 19/10. The draw is 23/10. All eyes will be on the two sides’ big strikers and Hills are offering markets on what both Torres and Rooney will do first. Rooney is 8/13 to complete the match without scoring or being carded, while Torres appears more likely to be subbed (4/9).

What Will Rooney Do First: 8/13 Complete Match; 9/4 Be Substituted; 9/2 Yellow Card; 6/1 Score; 40/1 Sent Off

What Will Torres Do First: 4/9 Substituted; 9/4 Complete Match; 5/1 Yellow Card; 10/1 Score; 40/1 Sent Off

How Many Of Starting XI vs Schalke Will Start Against Chelsea: 25/1 None; 9/4 One; 11/10 Two; 11/4 Three; 11/1 Four or more

Manchester United are 4/9 to win against Schalke on Wednesday with William Hill. The German side are 7/1.

United had 10 shots on target last week and Hills offer 6/4 that they have more attempts than that during Wednesday’s game.
