Manchester United and Chelsea are battling it out for silverware again this season, just as they were last. United claimed the title, whilst Chelsea beat us in the FA Cup final. There was no contest over who’d had the better season though.

This season, we are faced with a similar situation, however the stakes are a lot higher. Our lead at the top of the table is on goal difference alone, whilst it is the European Cup we stand to lose, rather than just the FA Cup.

Who is the pressure on? Who will be victorious on the last day of the season? Who deserves to win? Click below to see the Chelsea perspective.

Joe Cole

“I think the pressure is more on Manchester United as people wrote us off months ago,” he said. “So to be in the position we are shows a great will and great strength and depth in the squad and everything.”

John Terry

“Wigan are safe now but with a great manager like Steve Bruce they are going to go for it,” he said. “If we pick up three points at home to Bolton, we have a very good chance.”

Avram Grant

“We’ve done more than I even expected, so we want to believe the season will end well and we will fight to the last minute,” he said. “United have had a fantastic season. They’ve been champions many times before but this year we have given them a good battle and it is not finished yet.”

Jose Mourinho

“I think Chelsea deserve to win the final.”
