Grant backs Blues to bridge gap

CHELSEA manager Avram Grant is confident Manchester United will drop enough points to make next month’s visit to Stamford Bridge a significant moment in the race for the Premier League title.

United boast a five-point advantage over Chelsea, who moved into second place thanks to Sunday’s 1-0 win over Middlesbrough and are a point better off than Arsenal.

The champions are due in London on Saturday, April 26 and Grant predicted that his side would still be hunting down United – just as they have already done with Arsenal and Liverpool.
