United, who are three points clear of the Blues with three matches to play and enjoying the extra comfort of superior goal difference, are 2/1 to end Chelsea's Premier League challenge. However if they do earn three points at Stamford Bridge they will be the first side to do so in over four years.

This is an incredibly difficult match to call for several reasons. Chelsea have made the Bridge a fortress in recent seasons but conversley have not been playing at all well in recent matches. The poor form and fitness of Didier Drogba and the personal problems of Frank Lampard have severely impacted upon their performances, such as the farcically fortunate 1-1 draw in the Champions League at Anfield last week, and Lampard's absence will certainly weigh heavily on the Blues.

United have started to limp towards the finishing line themselves. Gone is the lustre of the free-flowing football we saw earlier in the Pre mier League season and now they have started to grind out matches, like the 2-1 win at Arsenal, the 1-1 draw at Blackburn and the 0-0 draw at Barcelona in midweek. Indeed watching United has been just like watching their near neighbours and draw specialists Man City in the last few weeks.

Sir Alex Ferguson's men are also overly dependent on Cristiano Ronaldo and this was all too evident after his disappearing act at the Nou Camp, following his penalty miss. But United's cautious approach in recent games seems to have been borne from the fact that they haven't actually needed to win any of them – and the same rule applies on Saturday. A draw in London means that a win against either West Ham or Wigan in their last two matches will be enough to become Premier League champions.

We can safely expect United to adopt a similarly dour outlook against a Chelsea side whose chief creative player at present seems to be goalkeeper Petr Cech. Either of these sides could nick a single-goal win but the safest bet is the draw and a low-scoring outcome.

Verdict: 2pts Draw @ 2.25; 2pts 0-1 goals @ 15/8; 2pts HT/FT Draw/Draw @ 4/1
