This is a crucial game for both teams, as they both need the three points to help mount a serious challenge to Liverpool, who currently top the FA Premier League. I predict that Chelsea will bag all three points, winning 2-1.
Manchester United will dominate the first half and take the lead with Dimitar Berbatov getting on the score sheet. However, Chelsea will come out all guns blazing after Luiz Felipe Scolari gives his troops an ear bashing. Didier Drogba will equalise early on to setup a tense finish to the game and Frank Lampard will pop up in the last seconds of the game to score the winning with a header.
Prediction
Manchester United 1 - 2 Chelsea
In response to the feedback and suggestions provided by members of the Predict Addict website, we've been developing and beta testing a range of new enhancements for Predict Addict and are pleased to announce that they have now been released.
So what's been added:-
- Leaderboard page size increase to 100
- Number of registered members displayed on home page
- Prediction Statistics (stats) for each football fixture
- Mini League filtering by competition stage
- Leaderboard filtering by current competition stage
- Visual enhancements and bug fixes
The number of members listed on a page for the leaderboard has increased to 100 for both the main leaderboard and member's mini leagues. Also the Facebook version of the leaderboard has been increased to 100 members per page.
We now display the number of registered website members on the home page (at the time of writing we currently have 1,940 members). So if you haven't told your mates already then let them know about Predict Addict.
Each football fixture now displays the prediction statistics, hovering the mouse over the chart icon displays the statistics for the fixture. Depending on whether the fixture is still to kickoff determines the statistics displayed. If the fixture is yet to kickoff then the statistics shows the percentage of members who think the result will be a home win, draw or away win. However, if the fixture has finished then the statistics shows the percentage of members who predicted the correct result, correct outcome or incorrect.
As requested by many members, we've added the feature to filter the mini league leaderboard by competition stage, as in the main leaderboard. This allows mini league owners to easily determine which member scored the most points for a given competition stage (weekly leaderboard).
The leaderboard's now supports current competition stage filtering, once all the results for the current competition stage have been collected and entered into the system.
If you've got a suggestion or feedback then please let us know by filling in either the Contact form on this blog or the Feedback form on our website.

Russia beat Greece knocking them out of the Euro 2008. Konstatin Zyryanov scored the winner for Russia from close range on 34 minutes after Antonis Nikopolidis's mistake.
Holders Greece didn't light up the competition and deserve to be going home early. Russia must now beat Sweden to qualify for the quarter-finals in a must win game for either side.
Result
Greece 0-1 Russia
Spain booked their place in the quarter-finals beating Sweden 2-1 after David Villa's last-gasp strike won the game.
Fernando Torres gave Spain the lead after 15 minutes poking home David Silva's cross. Sweden levelled when Zlatan Ibrahimovic met Fredrick Stoor's cross on 34 minutes.
Villa scored the winner in the 92nd minute and slide the ball into the corner of the net.
Spain were lacking the fluid movement they showed against Russia, but I predict they will raise their game for the next round.
Result
Sweden 1-2 Spain
Netherlands give France a lesson in playing counter-attacking football and gave them a thrashing. The win meant the Netherlands have finished top of the 'group of death' Group C and have qualified for the quarter-finals.
The Netherlands opened the scoring when Dirk Kuyt headed in on 10 minutes. Robin van Persie turned in Arjen Robben's cross on 60 minutes, before Thierry Henry pulled one back from close range after 71 minutes.
The Dutch weren't finished with scoring and seconds later Robben's finished from an unbelievable angle. Wester Sneijder sealed the win with the fourth goal a 20 yard stunner in injury time.
With this performance the Netherlands have to be favourites to win the Euro 2008 tournament as they've outplayed both teams that reach the final of the last World Cup.
Result
Netherlands 4-1 France
