Alex Ferguson

Manchester United and Chelsea, who meet in next month's Champions League final in Moscow, will focus on matters much closer to home this weekend when they renew their battle for the Premier League title.

United beat Barcelona 1-0 on Tuesday and Chelsea edged Liverpool 3-2 after extra time a day later to complete the line-up of the first all-English final of the Champions League.

On the domestic front, where there are two matches left to play, Chelsea pulled level with leaders United on 81 points by beating the champions 2-1 at Stamford Bridge last week. Chelsea now travel to face a revitalized Newcastle United on Monday while United host West Ham United today.
A win for Alex Ferguson's men would clearly increase the pressure on Chelsea at St James' Park, particularly as United already have a far superior goal difference.
Looking further ahead, United's final league game is at Wigan Athletic on May 11 while Chelsea play Bolton Wanderers at home on the same day.
Along with the title and the battle to avoid the drop, the race for next season's UEFA Cup places is also set to go to the last day of the season. Derby County's relegation fate was sealed back in March, but the wider scramble to avoid the drop zone has grown in intensity over the last four weeks.
