**Sunday, May 8
|
|
|
|
Manchester United v Chelsea**
|
|
|
|
United have two of their last three at Old Trafford where they are unbeaten,
|
|
have dropped just two points and have conceded just nine goals. Chelsea,
|
|
though, are the last team to win a League game at Old Trafford, 13 months ago,
|
|
when Didier Drogba got the winner. Since then, United have won 18 games and
|
|
drawn one.
|
|
|
|
**Saturday, May 14
|
|
|
|
Blackburn v Manchester United**
|
|
|
|
The last time they met, in November, Dimitar Berbatov scored five and United
|
|
won 7-1. Blackburn have gone nine games in the Premier League without a win
|
|
against United; their last success was in February 2006 - when they won 4-3,
|
|
David Bentley scored a hat-trick and Rio Ferdinand was sent-off.
|
|
|
|
**Sunday, May 15
|
|
|
|
Chelsea v Newcastle United**
|
|
|
|
On their last visit to Stamford Bridge, in the Carling Cup in September,
|
|
Newcastle won 4-3. And at St James' Park they drew 1-1 in the Premier League.
|
|
But Newcastle have never won at Chelsea in the Premier League and last won a
|
|
league game there in the old First Division - in 1986.
|
|
|
|
**Sunday, May 22
|
|
|
|
Everton v Chelsea**
|
|
|
|
These teams have met three times this season - and each game has ended 1-1. In
|
|
the League, Jermaine Beckford stole a point with an 86th minute equaliser
|
|
while, at Goodison Park in the FA Cup, Salomon Kalou forced a replay. And in
|
|
the return, in extra time, Leighton Baines got an 119th minute equaliser -
|
|
then Phil Neville hit the sinning penalty.
|
|
|
|
**Sunday, May 22
|
|
|
|
Manchester United v Blackpool**
|
|
|
|
When they met in January, Blackpool led 2-0 - but United bounced back with a
|
|
late winner from Dimitar Berbatov. But they last met at Old Trafford in April
|
|
1975, in the old Second Division, while Blackpool have not won there for 49
|
|
years.
