Gary Neville has insisted that the Premier League title is now in Manchester United's grasp following Saturday’s 5-0 thrashing of Portsmouth at Old Trafford.
The reigning champions are now top of the table, but will be knocked off their perch should Chelsea defeat Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.
However, the England full-back remains convinced the Red Devils can make it an historic four consecutive titles, insisting all the pressure is now on Carlo Ancelotti’s men.
“Chelsea are under pressure going into the Arsenal game and maybe this will add a bit more," he told the Sunday People.
"It's in our [Manchester United's] hands and it hasn't been before.
“We have got Chelsea to play here [at Old Trafford]. We want to get in front of them before then if we can."
Of course Chelsea defeated Manchester United 1-0 at Stamford Bridge back in November, courtesy of a John Terry goal.
The return match at Old Trafford is scheduled for 3 April.
