Manchester United vs Chelsea Live Stream: Watch Free Online English Premier League Game From Old Trafford

May 05, 2013 10:24 AM EDT

Chelsea will look to continue their good form in the English Premier League and with it strengthen their hold on third place, when they travel to champions Manchester United Sunday.

The game at Old Trafford will be a lot more important for the Blues, with United having nothing to play for but pride following their romp to the Premier League title.

However, Sir Alex Ferguson, whose side played spoilsport to Arsenal last weekend, insisted there will be no favors granted to any team as the season nears its close with just three games remaining for most sides.

"I never took into account all the things that are happening like the PFA awards, our own Player of the Year awards and the trophy parade," Ferguson said.

"When Nemanja Vidic came to me last week and asked if the team could go to Chester races on Wednesday, I said yes.

"But then you put all these things together and you say to yourself: 'bloody hell, I hope they don't forget there's a game of football to be played!'

"If they don't win on Sunday we could be cancelling the races."

"They've had a fantastic season and deserve to celebrate as a team," he added. "But they've also got to remember we've got games to win."

Ferguson will also be keen to get one over his old rival Rafa Benitez, after the Chelsea manager reopened the feud between the two by saying Ferguson had refused to shake his hand during prior to their F.A. Cup quarterfinal clash in March.

"I don't know where he is getting that from," Ferguson said. "I never even saw him. I don't know why he went and made such an issue of it. When we went down to Stamford Bridge (for the replay) we shook hands before and after the game.

"There are no problems for me. We do it all the time. I don't always do it before the game because I am always out there first. At the end of the game we always shake hands and we always have a meeting in my office after with both sets of staff."

United will welcome back Paul Scholes and Nemanja Vidic, but Danny Welbeck is ruled out. Chelsea have a full squad, with only long-term injury victim Oriol Romeu missing.
