Manchester United bossSir Alex Ferguson has criticised Chelsea's transfer policy going into this weekend's big game.
Unbeaten Manchester United travel to Stamford Bridge fresh from a 1-0 home win over Arsenal that sent them two points clear at the top of the table.
Ferguson told Sirius XM: "I thinkChelsea have been gradually introducing one or two younger players into their squad, so maybe that's why (results have been erratic).
"Michael Ballack's contract came to the end. (Juliano) Belletti's contract came to an end. They have been replacing these players with younger ones such as (Daniel) Sturridge and the young boy (Josh) McEachran.
"Their plan was always to start introducing younger players and I think that's a good thing but it can backfire if you get injuries.
"You need big squads these days because the number of matches and the intensity of them does produce injuries. There's no question that having a big squad helps."
