Sir Alex Ferguson on Manchester United's injuries
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson believes the Premier League title race will only start to take shape after the next international break. Ferguson's side head to Chelsea on Sunday knowing their first victory at Stamford Bridge since 2002 would allow them to jump back to the top of the table. While there is a lot of jostling taking place, with Arsenal impressing and Manchester City, Aston Villa and Tottenham looking most likely to exploit Liverpool's weaknesses, Ferguson feels it is something of a phoney war. "The Premier League does not settle until all the internationals are over," he said. "Once we get over this next bout of internationals we will probably see a truer league." Defeat on Sunday would leave United five points adrift of Carlo Ancelotti's men, and Ferguson said: "It will be tough. At moments it will be intense and feisty but there are so many good players on the pitch you are expecting some moments of terrific play. I am sure we will get that."
