Saturday's match between hosts Manchester United and Chelsea may
determine who will take the Premier League title this season.
Although Manchester United is one point ahead of their rivals, a match
without their star, Wayne Rooney, who is sitting out on an ankle injury, may
seal their fate.
Chelsea is also coming into the game full of confidence, after they brought
Aston Villa to their knees last week with a humiliating 7-1 victory.
United defender, Nemanja Vidic believes that his team can still beat Chelsea
without Rooney.
"We showed this season we play as a team," he said. "It is not just about one
man. Definitely Wayne Rooney has had a great season. He is unbelievable, one of
the best in the world. But sometimes big players are missing, and others need to
be ready."
Chelsea coach, Carlo Ancelotti is full of confidence of his team's ability to
win the match.
"When we play our best attacking football, we are able to overcome any
defense," he said. "It is important that we play our best football unit until
the end of the season. We can make this a fantastic season if we finish in the
right way."
