Man Utd defender Ferdinand counting on Wigan to shock Chelsea

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand is convinced Wigan Athletic can pull off a shock at Chelsea this weekend.

United need the Latics to rumble the Blues and they need to beat Stoke City to pull off an improbable title win.

"It's been an exciting season," said the 31-year-old. "The number of lesser teams on paper who've been taking points off the top four has been higher, when it's been a case of the big teams beating all the others and then dropping points against each other.

"It's been a weird season. Hopefully that will bode well for Chelsea's game on Sunday."
