Stoke City boss Tony Pulis believes this season's title will be decided between Chelsea and Manchester United.

Beaten by Chelsea at home on Saturday, Pulis said: "I think the title race is between Chelsea and United.

"I watched Liverpool on TV before the game and I thought they were brilliant. And they were very good last week. I just think there are more goals in the Chelsea team. There are more goals everywhere you look.

"You have got Ballack, Lampard, the two full-backs who get forward. Then you have got Drogba, Anelka, the two wide players and Joe Cole, who didn't play.

"You look at it and think: 'They are going to score goals. They will be difficult to play against'."
