It is said that a camel is a horse designed by committee. That being the case, which strange organisation designed Avram Grant as a Premier League coach? Overweight, tactically uninspired, and with so little charisma players would be hard pushed to follow him into the next room let alone into battle, how on earth did he find himself on the threshold of two major trophies, including one that not even Mourinho could reel in at Chelsea, the Champions League? Yet maybe the Avram Grant design project was not some pranky end-of-year student joke after all, but a recognition that such is the pressure at this stage of the season that coaches are prone to push themselves to the brink of insanity trying to win “the mental game”. The Grant method is to sit back and let the other guy stitch himself into a tactical strait jacket, then defend like the side of a warehouse and emerge towards the end to take full advantage of their frustration. It worked against Liverpool on Wednesday, and it will work against United again tomorrow. Chelsea to win.

The statistics

* It has been twenty years since Manchester Utd last did the double over Chelsea in the league.
