Posted May 6, 2011 – 5:59 am in: Soccer
On Sunday when Manchester United welcomes Chelsea, the two best teams in the English Premier League will battle against each other. Even though the Manchester United can’t look past Chelsea, they still need to take care of business in the Champions League. They have a shot to steal the league title as they sit just three points behind Manchester in the EPL standings.
In Soccer Betting Odds, Manchester United is a +140 favorite and Chelsea a +200 underdog.
In contention Chelsea has won their last five EPL matches to get back. With goalie Petr Cech regaining his edge they have looked scary lately. In his 35 starts he has allowed just 28 goals. Chelsea has found rhythm as well offensively. Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou and Florent Malouda have carried the offense. Fernando Torres has adjusted to the team in addition. Chelsea looks unbeatable with the way they are playing in all phases.
All season Manchester United has played consistently well. Goals will be at a premium as Edwin van der Sar has been solid in goal all season for the team. By leading the team in goals, Dimitar Berbatov has been the big star. Javier Hernandez and Wayne Rooney have also made large contributions on offense in addition. In the soccer world the team is among the most explosive.
It will say a lot about who wins the championship as this is a huge showdown. With the lead in the standings Manchester United has the advantage. Between the two in league play though, Chelsea won the first match. By winning both legs of their Champions League quarterfinal, Manchester United defeated them twice since then. Both teams will be playing hard for it as this game is all about the EPL title.
