Which is more important? Chelsea-Man Utd showdown or Champions League?
Manchester United and Chelsea will both face tricky test to their title aspirations having both drawn their Champions League semi-final first leg. With both of them in great opportunity to be the Champions League final, this Saturday showdown might not be as what the fans might expect.
Man Utd will not be too adventurous as they want to avoid defeat and will be happy to settle for a draw. Some key players will be rested ahead of their crucial second leg UCL at Old Trafford, and i won’t be surprise if Cristiano Ronaldo will be sitting on the bench.
The same goes to Chelsea who will be in the front running to be in the final for the first time, might have a slight advantage over Liverpool. With an away goal and never been beaten by Rafa Benitez, Chelsea will be the favourite to go through. The problem is that, Chelsea won’t have the resources to rest players like the Red Devils. They will play both matches with the same set of players, and they might win both or they could even loose both games.
So what do you think? Which championship is more important to them? The premiership or the Champions League?

Champions league is more important! Because Man U had only won it back in 1999. And the EPL is almost in the bag. Besides Champions league provide more $$$ if Man manage to win it!
