Man Utd boss Ferguson: Chelsea clash not decisive in title race

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson insists today's game at Chelsea won't be decisive in the title race.

Even at this early stage, the game will be discussed as a potentially decisive in the title race. Sir Alex doesn’t think it’s as cut and dry as that, but there is a marked difference between going top or being five points behind Chelsea come Sunday evening.

“It doesn’t come into my thinking that it is a league decider,” Ferguson told manutd.com. “But it could be an important game. Towards the end of the season, you might think, ’I’m glad we got a result at Chelsea’. But it’s difficult to pinpoint the importance of Sunday in relation to where we’ll be in May.”
