Manchester United defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231 not worried about Chelsea ahead of EPL clash
Patrice Evra, the 29-year-old Manchester United defender, revealed his side were not worried about Chelsea ahead of the clash at Old Trafford on Sunday. The Blues are at second place on the English Premier League table, just three points behind the Red Devils
but Evra insisted they were not worried.

However, they secured all three points as Manchester United waited to travel to the Emirates to take on third place http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-Maseru-c38430. Unfortunately for Sir Alex Ferguson’s side, they went on to lose 1-0 and failed to maintain their 6-point lead at the top.
The Blues now travel to Old Trafford on Sunday now and could go top of the league once again if they secure all three points. While both sides will be level on points, Chelsea will be ahead on goal difference and that will be enough to put them ahead.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international however, failed to admit he considered the London side as competition for the title. Evra was confident his side could pull themselves together after the defeat to Arsenal and return to winning ways.
Evra said while speaking to reporters, “Our destiny is still in our own hands. We have two massive games coming up, against Schalke 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.”
While the Blues are just focusing on retaining the Premier League crown, Manchester United are still in contention for the UEFA Champions League. The English Premier League giants take on Schalke 04 in the second leg of the European Cup semi-final in mid-week
before they host Chelsea over the weekend.
Evra was least worried about the Blues, despite the fact that there is now a realistic chance of Ancelotti’s side retaining the domestic title. He admitted his side had not been their best against Arsenal but would improve against Chelsea.
He continued, “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.”
Manchester United have a 2-0 lead over the Bundesliga giants in the Champions League and are favorites to make it to the final, where they will face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38605. However, after last weekend, they are no longer favorites to claim the Premier League. The title
may very well be decided on Sunday when Chelsea visit Old Trafford.
