Man Utd meet Chelsea tonight in U21 Premier League final

Manchester United U21 coach Warren Joyce expects a tough battle against Chelsea in the Premier League final.

United have the chance to retain the trophy on home soil because the Londoners' pitch was unavailable.

"Chelsea are a good side," stressed Joyce to MUTV. "The money they have spent on youngsters is phenomenal but they do it very well and have got some good players in the youth set-up and Under-21s. It will be a tough game for us.

"But I'm not really thinking about Chelsea too much. It's more about having control of our team and making sure we do everything we possibly can right on the night.

"I think it would be a massive one to win this year," he accepted. "Obviously, we've won it the last two years and got beaten in the final before that. With all the problems that have been around this year, just to get this far is a massive achievement."
