Man Utd's Evra: It is still up to us

Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra believes the team still has the title in their own hands.

Despite a 1-0 loss to Arsenal yesterday, Evra says that the 2010/11 Premiership is United's to lose with Chelsea and the Gunners still in hot pursuit.

The Red Devils are three points clear of Chelsea, who they meet this coming weekend, and the Frenchman feels a win there would wrap things up for a record 19th title.

"Our destiny is still in our own hands," said Evra. "We have two massive games coming up, against Schalke (in the Champions League semi-final) and Chelsea.

"We must focus on recovering for the Schalke game but we also know if we want to win the title we have to beat Chelsea. If we don't beat them we are going to be in trouble. We don't want to be in trouble.

"But I have to say, I am not worried. Against Arsenal, we did not do the things we normally do.

"Hopefully it was an accident because we have five games left. Every one is like a final. We need to win them all."
