Wayne Rooney is out to put Chelsea's title celebrations on hold for a few more days.
Chelsea needs just a point from three games to capture its second title in a row and it's an achievement which has seemed inevitable since virtually the start of the season.
Jose Mourinho's team won its first nine Premier League games and has never looked like being caught. Even when Manchester United trimmed an 18-point lead to seven, it was too close to the end of the season for Mourinho to get worried.
At least the Red Devils can make the Blues wait a little longer by becoming the first visitor to post a league victory at Stamford Bridge in 43 games, since Arsenal's 2-1 victory on Feb. 21, 2004.
"We want to go there and win," said Manchester United's England striker, Wayne Rooney. "It would be devastating if we only get a draw and they're celebrating around us."
A Manchester United victory today would leave Chelsea in need of a point from its final two games at Blackburn on Tuesday and Newcastle the following Sunday.
But the Blues would want to finish the job at home and make up for losing to Liverpool in last weekend's FA Cup semifinal.
"We could not get going against Liverpool and we take collective responsibility for that," said Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole, who missed an easy injury time chance to equalize.
"The main thing is that we didn't win the game and we have got to look forward now and hopefully win the league. We want to win the Premiership and make it back-to-back titles, which will make it a fantastic season because Chelsea have never done that before. It will make it another great achievement," Cole said.
"There is always improvement to be made. Retaining the title is a lot harder to do than winning it the first time. Let's put that to bed and it will have been another great season."
The loss to Liverpool at Manchester United's Old Trafford wrecked Chelsea's dream of a first ever league and cup double.
But Rooney admits that Mourinho's team has become the most consistent side around if not the most attractive.
"Chelsea, over the last two years, have been consistently good," he said. "They've raised a notch and we have to do that ourselves and try to get back above them.
"Over the last four or five months we've played really well, and we want to continue that into the start of next season and hopefully we'll be a lot closer."
Revelations of positive doping tests for nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers that went unpunished sparked an intense flurry of accusations and legal threats between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the head of the US drug-fighting organization, who has long been one of WADA’s fiercest critics. WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The
Taiwanese judoka Yang Yung-wei on Saturday won silver in the men’s under-60kg category at the Asian Judo Championships in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the “judo heartthrob” in Taiwan, the Olympic silver-medalist missed out on his first Asian Championships gold when he lost to Japanese judoka Taiki Nakamura in the finals. Yang defeated three opponents on Saturday to reach the final after receiving a bye through the round of 32. He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock). He
RALLY: It was only the second time the Taiwanese has partnered with Kudermetova, and the match seemed tight until they won seven points in a row to take the last set 10-2 Taiwan’s Chan Hao-ching and Russia’s Veronika Kudermetova on Sunday won the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix women’s doubles final in Stuttgart, Germany. The pair defeated Norway’s Ulrikke Eikeri and Estonia’s Ingrid Neel 4-6, 6-3, 10-2 in a tightly contested match at the WTA 500 tournament. Chan and Kudermetova fell 4-6 in the first set after having their serve broken three times, although they played increasingly well. They fought back in the second set and managed to break their opponents’ serve in the eighth game to triumph 6-3. In the tiebreaker, Chan and Kudermetova took a 3-0 lead before their opponents clawed back two points, but
Taiwanese gymnast Lee Chih-kai failed to secure an Olympic berth in the pommel horse following a second-place finish at the last qualifier in Doha on Friday, a performance that Lee and his coach called “unconvincing.” The Tokyo Olympics silver medalist finished runner-up in the final after scoring 6.6 for degree of difficulty and 8.800 for execution for a combined score of 15.400. That was just 0.100 short of Jordan’s Ahmad Abu Al Soud, who had qualified for the event in Paris before the Apparatus World Cup series in Qatar’s capital. After missing the final rounds in the first two of four qualifier
