TITLE RACE GOING TO THE WIRE

Chelsea's 2-1 win over Manchester United leaves the two sides level on points with just two games remaining, and the race to be crowned Premier League champions looks set to go down to the very last game of the season.

United will win the title if they beat West Ham at home and Wigan away, as they have vastly superior goal difference than Chelsea.

But the momentum is now with the Blues after Michael Ballack's controversial 86th minute penalty secured the win they needed to put the pressure on defending champions United.

Chelsea have a trip to Newcastle before hosting relegation-threatened Bolton in what could be a massive end of season decider at both ends of the table.

Matchwinner Ballack dedicated the win to Frank Lampard after he missed the game following the death of his mother this week.

There's definately something going on with Chelski at the moment.They've got the wind of good fortune beneath their wings yet also a sense of conflict within the team not far beneath the surface. I haven't thought they would win the Premiership this season until not. But I have a funny feeling there may be some surprises in store in the near future.
