On the Tie
"The result against us
was a change for them. That gave them a lift
because they were out of the game and then won it.
Then our loss at Arsenal last weekend opened the
door for them."
"Everyone's aware of
the magnitude of Sunday's game and it's one we're
looking forward to," "Last Sunday's result has
certainly brought an awareness to us of how
important this game is and I think it's one of the
reasons I had to pick the team I did on Wednesday.
It's given us a fresh team for Sunday. It should be
a fantastic match and if we win, we should win the
league." |
 |
John O'Shea
on Chelsea
“We have shown a lot of
experience at Old Trafford in big games,” he said.
“We have already played Chelsea at home in the
Champions League, so we know we will have to play
well.
“Chelsea have hit a bit of form but we know we are a
good team at home as well.” |
