Manager Alex Ferguson wants Manchester United to clinch the Premier League crown and knock out their title rivals Chelsea on April 26.

United having eliminated Arsenal from the title race by defeating Arsene Wenger's men 2-1 at Old Trafford on Sunday, moving nine points clear of the Gunners with only four matches left.

Ferguson's team, looking for a second successive title, are currently five points clear of Chelsea who dropped two precious points against Wigan Athletic at Stamford Bridge on Monday to extend their unbeaten home league run to 80 matches.

"I said before the Arsenal match that if we win the next three games we've won the title," Ferguson told United's Web site (www.manutd.com).

"I knew if we got over this one we would have a good chance. "If we win the next two (against Blackburn Rovers and Chelsea) with our great goal difference, we have won the league."

Ferguson's men visit Blackburn on Saturday and also have to play West Ham United and Wigan. United's superior goal difference over Chelsea is also a major blow for the Blues whose title challenge is all but over.

It was at Stamford Bridge that Chelsea under Jose Mourinho knocked out Manchester United to win their second consecutive league title two years ago.

Is this the time the Red Devils get their revenge?
