Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho has called for a Premiership title playoff with Manchester United should the two teams finish level on points on Sunday.

If they do so, United would win the championship on goal difference, but Carvalho told the Mirror: "That would be a pain.

"To really resolve the sporting issue perhaps there should be a play-off in a neutral city.

"It has been a sensational race and for us to go into the final day level on points is incredible. Many people wrote us off after two months and now we have the chance to win an amazing double.

"The whole squad believes we can do it."
