January 17th, 2011 - 4:36 pm ICT by ANI
London, Jan 17(ANI): Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has said that the Premier League champions will be decided when this team faces Chelsea on March 1 at Stamford Bridge.
A goalless draw against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday sent the unbeaten United back to the top of the Premier League on goal difference.
United has 45 points from 21 games, while Manchester City has 45 points from 23.
“We go to Chelsea on March 1 which will be a massive game and we have got to go to Blackpool who are in great form. It’s going to be an exciting run-in, a real thrilling end to the season as five clubs are at the top,” the Sun quoted Ferguson, as saying.
“All five teams contesting the title have chances and it makes it interesting for neutrals. Tottenham are not out of it, and are improving their chances each week.”
“We have games in hand, but you have to win them. It’s all about keeping your nerve and at White Hart Lane defensively we kept ours,” he added. (ANI)
