    Man Utd look to favour from Wigan


    Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is hopeful that Wigan can get a result at Chelsea to turn the Premier League title race in his side's favour.United's 1-0 win at Sunderland ensured the crown will be won on the final day of the season on Sunday when his team host Stoke and Wigan visit Chelsea.

    "I wouldn't say it's a sealed result against Wigan by any shadow of a doubt," said Ferguson.

    "They're a good team, they'll have a go and you never know. It's a crazy game."

    Ferguson did concede he might be "clutching at straws" and added: "Manchester City did us a great turn when they beat Chelsea twice. Wigan are neighbours too.

    "All we can do is win our home game. We want to win in front of our fans on the last day of the season."


    Chelsea's 2-0 victory at Liverpool earlier in the day meant United had to beat Sunderland to keep their title hopes realistically alive and they did so, thanks to a first-half Nani strike.

    But the Blues remain favourites to win their first title since 2006 and end United's run of three in a row.

    Even before United's win, Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti felt the title race would go down to the wire but he was happy with his side's form after a comfortable victory at Anfield.

    "It was an important performance. There was a lot of pressure on this game and on us but we had a good control of our emotion," said the Italian, seeking to win the title in his first season in England.

    "I always said the title would be decided at the end of the season and I still think so.


    "Now the team is fit and showing good personality we have to train for a week and wait."This article is from the BBC News website. ? British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
