 Ferguson's United side still have to play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge |
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson remains wary of the threat posed by Chelsea in the race for the Premier League title. The Blues are nine points adrift of leaders Arsenal and six behind United but have a game in hand.
Plus, Chelsea still have to play both teams at home and Ferguson insists the title race remains a three-horse race.
"The number of points Chelsea are behind Arsenal is not insurmountable as points can be dropped," he said.
"The fact that they have got us and Arsenal at home, and their home record is so good, you would have to think they have still got a big chance in the Premier League."

Chelsea finished as runners-up to Ferguson's side in the top flight last season after winning the crown for two successive seasons.
But the United boss believes Chelsea would be happier winning the Champions League rather than adding to their Premier League title count.
"I think that is what they are really after, given owner Roman Abramovich's contribution to their rise in the last few years," added Ferguson.
