Background Story

PREMIER LEAGUE

As things stand

Chelsea
Points: 84
Goal difference: +39

Manchester United
Points: 84
Goal difference: +56

United's superior goal difference means that Chelsea need a better result than the Red Devils on Sunday to claim the title. If both teams win, Chelsea need to overhaul the difference of 17 goals. For example, Chelsea have to beat Bolton 19-0, and hope United win only 1-0 at Wigan.

Final games on Sunday:

Chelsea: Bolton (h)

Man Utd: Wigan (a)

Bolton need a point to be absolutely safe from relegation. A huge defeat, coupled with massive wins for Reading and Fulham, would see Bolton go down on goal difference.

Wigan are already safe from relegation.
