3:19 pm in English Premier League by jeff

Both Chelsea and Manchester United won over the weekend to set up a winner take all scenario this coming Sunday.  Chelsea defeated Liverpool 2-0 and Manchester United took care of Sunderland 1-0.

Chelsea will face off with Wigan and United will face Stoke City.  For the cup to come down to the last match is great for all fans who follow the English Premier League.  United will try to become the first club to win four straight league titles.

Chelsea hold the advantage but anything can happen at this level.  Frank Lampard was quoted, “Obviously Manchester United have a tough game but we’ll never go that far (thinking we have already won). We have a big game next week. But we knew the Liverpool game was huge for us. We knew if we had dropped points we would have given the momentum to United.”
