Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov goes into today's clash with Chelsea boasting a much better record than the man he replaces.

While the injured Wayne Rooney has scored just twice in 19 encounters with Chelsea, Berbatov has a return of four goals in 10. In big matches too.

A League Cup final, when representing Spurs, and last season's 3-0 win at Old Trafford. Then there's the fact that United have not exactly struggled without Rooney this season. Nine games, nine wins.
