Ex-Man Utd keeper Pollitt threatens Chelsea title hopes

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Mike Pollitt could be between the posts for Wigan Athletic at Chelsea this weekend.

Pollitt, now 38, began his career at United and is strictly third-choice at Wigan behind Chris Kirkland and Vladimir Stojkovic. Stojkovic's place is in danger after a dodgy performance in Monday's 2-2 draw with Hull City.

United need Wigan to stop Chelsea winning if they're to have any chance of a shock title victory.

Wigan boss Roberto Martinez said: "Every player has the opportunity to play. I'm just assessing our standards on a daily basis and anyone in that squad has a chance to play."
