Man Utd could crack, says Grant
-
Chelsea boss Avram Grant believes Manchester United will struggle to win their last two Premier League games.
Grant's team beat United 2-1 on Saturday to move level on points at the top of the table. United, who face games against West Ham (home) and Wigan (away), top the table with a vastly superior goal difference. But Grant said: "It is not easy when you are under pressure to win two games. We hope that we are happy at the end of the season."
Michael Ballack put Chelsea ahead at Stamford Bridge in a game they had to win to stand any realistic chance of winning the title. And Grant added: "We did what we needed to do. We won the game and put them under pressure.
Chelsea travel to face Newcastle two days after United host West Ham. If United beat the Hammers, Chelsea will need at least a point at St James' Park to ensure the race goes to the final day, when the Blues play relegation-threatened Bolton at home.
Grant added: "We won against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge and now Manchester United but we need to make sure we win our last two games."
Skipper John Terry felt the result against United showed that Chelsea are good enough to win the title. "We want to win this Premier League and take the title from Manchester United," said the Blues skipper. "I think we showed we can match anyone on our day."

i tink grant should stfu.. he is just a nonsense manager that couldnt even manage his stars.. just look at the incident between drogba and ballack... all he does was just to watch and did nothing to sort things out.. he's just a figurehead manager and couldnt command any respect from his players..
What is achieved today is just because his players are top quality players which can win you games even without much tactical instructions
