1317: Finally, some decisive evidence. Under cross examination Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is under no illusions it will be a competitive encounter and crucially adds: "It will be a better game than the FA Cup final as there was possibly tiredness from both teams." It could be worth sticking with after all.

1313: Now we call Chelsea assistant manager Steve Clarke to the stand: "When you play someone like Manchester United, one of our main rivals for all the trophies, it gives the match an extra meaning. We want to win it and I'm sure they want to win it as well." To borrow bioChelseaW's phrase, "interesting, not compelling".

1309: Will it be an improvement on their last meeting? Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, for the defence we present 1999_finesthour: "It'll be better than the FA Cup final, that's for sure." And for the prosecution, step forward bioCHelseaW, who thinks we may as well get our coats and pack up for the day: "I doubt it'll be much better. Interesting, not compelling."

1304: BBC Sport pundit Mark Lawrenson described that match as a "good advert for cricket". Good weather for cricket at Wembley today. Blue skies. Bright sunshine. Happy days.

1300: It's just 78 days since Chelsea and Manchester United locked horns at Wembley in the FA Cup final. Here's hoping they'll put on a better show this time around.

"It will be an open affair because neither team will be too worried about losing. Man Utd to win 2-1."
