We play City and United both after European excursions so this is what it the fixtures will look like for them, assuming we all qualify as well
====================================
Man Utd vs Chelsea - 18th September
United match before: Benfica (A)
United match after: Stoke (A)
Chelsea match before: Leverkusen (H)
Chelsea match after: Swansea (H)
====================================
Man Utd vs Man City - 23rd October
United match before: Otelul Galati (A) (They play Liverpool away before that)
United match after: Everton (H)
City match before: Villarreal (H)
City match after: Wolves (H)
====================================
Chelsea vs Manchester City - 10th December
Chelsea match before: Valencia (H)
Chelsea match after: Wigan (A)
City match before: Bayern Munich (H)
City match after: Arsenal (H)
====================================
Should Chelsea, United and City all progress to the Knock out stages then it would mean:
- Chelsea could play West Brom (A) or Bolton (H)/City (A)
- City could play Bolton (H) or Blackburn (H)/Chelsea (H)
- United could play Norwich (A) or West Brom (H)/Wolves (A)
Anything beyond that would be too presumptuous at this stage.

It's pleasing that travelwise we have an advantage over City and United before and after we play them. I feel it will be crucial to take advantage of that. We will have longer to rest than both United and City when we play them as well
United may have got an easy group, but they sure don't have it easier in the league when the PL games are being played simultaneously with the CL I predict plenty of puts dropped for them in that period, same with City. You could argue the same for us but we don't start playing the physical sides until November really
Should us and City both qualify then I am praying for the 2nd scenario for the group stages because it would then mean it could mean we get a weeks rest more than them

Fergie has a habit of playing carling cup teams in the CL these days, expect more when they play at Oltuli whatever especially
