Premier League title a three-way race this time round: Alex Ferguson

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes that this season’s Premier League title race is now down to three teams.

“I don’t think there will be anyone outside ourselves, Chelsea or Arsenal,” the BBC quoted Ferguson, as saying.

“I know Harry [Redknapp] is talking up his chances at Tottenham, but they are involved in the Champions League, which is a new thing for them.”

“Manchester City have got a chance, of course. But they will also have the Europa League which will make it difficult,” he added.

United are currently unbeaten in this season after 16 matches, and lead the points table by two points.

They have a game in hand on second-placed Arsenal and two in hand on third-placed Manchester City.
