Van der Sar: I’d relish triple shot at Blues

EDWIN VAN DER SAR would love the chance to have a crack at Chelsea three times in the space of a fortnight.

Manchester United’s defeat at Portsmouth last weekend already means the May 9 Premiership encounter between the pair at Stamford Bridge is likely to prove pivotal in the battle for the title.

Both sides have now advanced to the Champions League semi-finals, on the back of sensational successes over Roma and Valencia on Tuesday, keeping alive the possibility of a European Cup final battle between England’s top two in Athens on May 23.
