Hello and welcome to today's coverage of the capital one cup final. Here with me is a chelsea legend, he once scored in a crucial penalty shoot-out for chelsea? Do you know who it is now? Yes that's right its the one and only Didier Drogba, good to have you here Didier!
Thank you Martin Tyler, I'm looking forward to today's game between Chelsea and Manchester United, I wish I could be playing but lets talk about that another time *laughs*
Lets take a look at the lineups shall we.
Chelsea: Petr Cech, Wallace,David Luiz, John Terry, Carl Jenkinson, Ramires, Nainggolan, Eden Hazard, Oscar, Oxlade Chamberlain, Lewandowski.
Man United: De Gea, Alaba, Smalling, Dede, Rafael, Michael Keane, Nick Powell, Luis Narsingh, Shinji Kagawa, Tom Cleveley, S Edwards.
Didier, what do you think about Chelsea's lineup today, has Thierry gotten it right?
I believe he has gotten it spot on. I praise his decision for playing Jenkinson over Shaw even though Jenkinson is not a left back as in games like this little mistakes matter. No disrespect to Shaw, he is a great player, he has a bright future but I agree with Wenger, he should be on the bench.
Lewandowski, starts over Moura and Oscar over Rooney, is this also a good move by Henry?
Yes it is. In games like this experience matters. Lewandowski has more experience than Moura at both club and international level. I think he will be the difference today. Oscar is more energetic than Rooney. The game will be won and lost in the midfield. The trio of Chamberlain, Hazard and Oscar looks very dangerous.
Now lets move onto the United squad, over the years it seems to have gotten weaker. I mean today their starman Robin Van Persie is out due to an injury but do you still think they can get anything from this match?
One thing I've learnt in my playing career is never judge a book by its cover. Nobody thought Chelsea would win the champions league and boom, it happened. This has been and will always be a tough game.
Ok Didier I'll just stop you there as Geoff Shreeves is now with Chelsea manager, Thierry Henry.
Pre-Match Interview
Thank your Martin, Thierry today you have another chance at winning this cup for the fourth time in a row in your managerial career. Jose Mourinho believes that you will fail and he will beat your team badly, what do you have to say about that?
I'm sorry who is Jose Mourinho?
....The..special one, the United boss, former Real Madrid and Chelsea boss, your fans love him!
I've never heard of him in my life...
*smiles* Anyway what do you think about your teams chances today?
erm...We're confident that we will win, we know we'll win and we want to win. We've been preparing very well for a long time. The fans want it, the board want it so we'll do it for them.
Thank you for your time, back to you Didier and Martin!
Back to the studio!
The teams are walking out of the tunnel now here at Wembley, before the game starts your predictions Drogba?

We're seconds away from kick off here at Wembley Stadium, the teams are shaking hands now. Henry goes over to shake Mourinho's hand... I thought he said he didn't know who he was.
Despite not knowing the man, you've got to respect him, he's a great guy.
1. And we're off here at Wembley. Chelsea have kicked off the game from left to right.
Oh and that's a horrible tackle by Nainggolan and he could be in trouble here....
Yes this may turn out to be a horrible day for Chelsea...they're very lucky as he gets a yellow card.
2. Keane goes into the book for a bad tackle too, I guess its fair.
5. Oscar with a chance to shoot here, the united players are backing off....oh that's not how to shoot my friend!
12. Kagawa to Powell, good intereception from Nainggolan has he looks for a pass..
Oh that's a very short pass...Edwards, one on one with Cech, GOAL! EDWARDS HAS GIVEN UNITED THE LEAD AFTER ROUNDING CECH AND PASSING THE BALL INTO THE NET. A GOAL FOR THE 19 YEAR OLD.
35. Great save from Petr as Cleverley goes round him but he recovers to stop the ball from crossing the line. Still 1-0 UNITED.
45. That's it for the first half. United have looked the better team but there's no ruling out Chelsea, anything can still happen, half time scores 1-0 UNITED.
I think if Chelsea want to come back they must start passing with a bit more fluency, I'm sure thats what Henry is telling them now, pass the ball forward and not backwards..get crosses in lets start running at them. United tend to struggle when someone with space is running at them. Get Chamberlain and Hazard on the ball and then we're in for a cracker of a second half.
Well there you've heard it from the legend him self Didier. Chelsea have 45 minutes to turn things round, can they do it, we'll find out after the break.

45. And we're back with the second half. Can Chelsea turn things around or will United steal the victory?
51. Hazard lobs it to Chamberlain. Chamberlain jumps very high, heads it down...Ramires...RAMIRES!
GOAL CHELSEA! RAMIRES THE SCORER WHAT A BEAUTFIFUL TEAM GOAL! HAZARD LOBBED IT TOWARDS CHAMBERLAIN WHO OUTJUMPED DEDE TO HEAD IT DOWN TO RAMIRES WHO VOLLEYED IT RIGHT INTO THE TOP CORNER NO CHANCE FOR DE GEA TO SAVE THAT. 1-1 GAME ON!
55. The momentum is starting to favor Chelsea as they win a corner. Hazard with the in swinger, Luiz! Oh its skimmed the top of the crossbar there wasn't that close Didier.
It was certainly, I was ready to jump out of my seat!
75. Its all Chelsea now, United are having to withstand some heavy pressure. Chelsea need to find a goal in the last 15 minutes if they want to be crowned champions.
79. Chamberlain completely dusts Alaba, what rocket speed... he skips pasts Dede, Lewandowski has made a run but can Chamberlain see him...yes he can as he chips the ball over United's defence, LEWANDOWSKI....GOAAAL! LEWANDOWSKI HAS SCORED FOR CHELSEA IN THE 79TH MINUTE WITH A SCREAMER OF A VOLLEY. CHAMBERLAIN DID ALL THE HARD WORK AND LEWANDOWSKI JUST SAID THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND SMASHED IT. 2-1 CHELSEA.WHAT A COMEBACK.
What a comeback indeed. Credit to Chelsea for not giving up, they have really proved why they should be champions but there's still 10 minutes less.
10 minutes of parking the bus as we did against Barcelona Martin!
90. The final whistle goes, Chelsea, Henry and all the staff are on the pitch celebrating, the United players crying there eyes out, excuse me Martin I've got to go celebrate with my team!
Ok Didier you do that! So there you have it. Chelsea have won the capital one cup and Henry has won his first trophy as Chelsea manager and his 14th in 4 seasons. He can still win 3 more! Congratulations to Chelsea FC.
Man of the Match: Alex Oxlade Chamberlain
