If it had been a Manchester United player, Hackett would not have done this." Cristiano Ronaldo could make his first start for United since the Champions League Final in May after coming on as a substitute in the midweek goalless draw against Villarreal, but Nemanja Vidic is suspended after being sent off at Anfield.  Michael Carrick is unlikely to play again until the end of October after breaking a bone in his foot last weekend, while Chelsea's only absentee is Michael Essien whose cruciate knee ligament injury is expected to keep him out of action for most of the season.  Didier Drogba and Michael Ballack could also feature in Scolari's plans after recovering from recent injuries to boost a side that has been in excellent form so far this season.         Premier League victories against Portsmouth, Wigan Athletic and Manchester City and a draw with Tottenham have left the Blues at the top of the table and they strolled to a 4-0 victory over Bordeaux in the Champions League on Tuesday.  Five months ago at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea ensured the Premier League title race would go to the wire when a Ballack brace helped Avram Grant's side secure a 2-1 victory against United.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
