Sir Alex Ferguson is determined not to
allow Chelsea to open up a gap on his
Manchester United team.
United take on the Premier League
leaders at Stamford Bridge on Sunday
and after already losing to Tottenham
and Everton this season Ferguson is
keen to keep up the pressure on one
of the three teams he thinks can win
the title.
"We don't want a gap to open," said
Ferguson. "This could be a league
where you will suffer if you lose bad
ones.
"We couldn't afford to lose the
Tottenham one the way we did. If we
get any more of that we will be in
trouble. There are lot of big games still
to come of course and I think it will be
close.
"But Chelsea, City and ourselves are
creating that little gap from the rest and
whilst I cannot be dead certain, I
would be surprised if one of us didn't
win it. Chelsea are undefeated, which
gives you an idea of the level of
consistency they have produced."
With Chelsea and City both losing their
UEFA Champions League matches in
midweek it has been suggested that
being able to focus on the Premier
League could be a significant
advantage in the spring.
But Ferguson believes fighting on all
fronts is always the best way to be
successful.
"It is never a good thing to lose a game
of football," he added. "If you are
knocked out of the Champions League
it would not be a good thing. If you
were knocked out of Europe
completely it would be even worse.
"We are better when we are playing in
all the competitions. I much prefer
that."
