Chelsea boss eyes two wins

Rachel · 04-14-2008, 10:13 AM

Chelsea boss Avram Grant insists that his side can pile the pressure on Manchester United with victory in their next two games.

The Blues saw United go six points clear at the top with victory over Arsenal on Sunday - which made the title race a two-team affair.

Chelsea, though, have two Premier League games in the next four days, beginning with Wigan on Monday before travelling to Everton on Thursday.

Should Chelsea win both games then they would be level with United before there next league meeting with Blackburn on Saturday - after which point the pair face off at Stamford Bridge in what now looks like being the title decider - a game you can see live on Sky Sports on April 26th.

And Grant is fully confident that his side can force United into a wobble - despite their fine form - with two successive wins.

"I believe that nobody is a computer," said a confident Grant ahead of his side's clash with Wigan.

"Pressure can affect anybody. It can take you forward in a positive way but also you can see that even big players under pressure cannot play like they used to. It can be any team, any player.

"If we win every game I think we will win the title. But it's not easy to win all the games. I said a week ago I didn't believe Man United and Arsenal would do it, it's not easy."
