Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is convinced the title will be decided between themselves and Chelsea.

Ferguson, who has won 11 Premier League titles and two Champions League trophies in his 23 years at Old Trafford, said: "I had a feeling about there being a change last season. The top teams are losing games and more points than ever through the early part of the season.

"That gives rise to the hope that it could be a very competitive league. But my experience tells me that two teams break away towards the last part of the season."
