Sir Alex sees three-way battle
Saturday, January 30th, 2010
Sir Alex Ferguson thinks three teams are now embroiled in a battle for the Premier League title and his side’s clash with Arsenal (6/4 to win – match coupon) could be pivotal as to where the trophy is going to go.
The Manchester United (7/4 to win, 23/10 draw – match coupon) manager has seen themselves, Arsenal and Chelsea start to pull away at the top of the Premier League and he thinks nothing is settled as of yet.
Ferguson takes his side to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday and is having to do without Rio Ferdinand, who is starting a four match ban for failing in an appeal against a ban for violent conduct.
The Scottish manager has said there is now consistency being shown by the top three now, which has seen them pull away from Aston Villa, Tottenham, Manchester City and Liverpool.
“There are more points being dropped by those trying to get the fourth position than those in the top three now, which makes it very competitive,” said Ferguson.
“Fourth looks like a league of its own. You cannot dismiss any of them. But I don’t think anything is settled. We are not certain to win the league. Neither are Chelsea or Arsenal. But we have all got a chance.”
Arsenal could give a second Premier League debut to former England defender Sol Campbell (12/1 Anytime Goalscorer) in the crunch tie as Thomas Vermaelen is struggling with a leg injury sustained in the midweek draw against Aston Villa.
