A chance to make history

Sir Alex Ferguson says his players are fully prepared for what could be a monumental four days in the club's history.

The Reds have the chance to all but seal a tenth Premier League title with victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

And they can book their place in next month's Champions League final in Moscow with victory over Barcelona on Tuesday at Old Trafford.

The United boss is relishing the tasks ahead and has the uppermost confidence in his team to rise to the occasion.

"We could achieve quite a lot in the next few days. The incentives are all there and we have the players to do it," declared Sir Alex. "We just have to make sure we are rested properly and prepared for both games.

"We have to recover our passing ability a bit better. That was one area that let us down [in Barcelona]. That was surprising because normally we are very good at that as we showed in Rome.

"We will get back to that at Chelsea. I think we will be alright."
