Man United can close in on 19th title at Arsenal

What was shaping up to be the title decider for Manchester United and Arsenal is now a chance for Alex Ferguson's side to all but secure the Premier League trophy while compounding the hosts' disappointing end to the season.

United goes to Arsenal on Sunday nine points ahead of third-place Arsenal and six in front of Chelsea with four games remaining.

Arsenal has won just one of its last seven matches while United has produced four victories in that time to raise the prospects of a record 19th English title next month.

Chelsea remains the biggest threat to United's ambitions after a recent revival, but Carlo Ancelotti's side will have to beat Tottenham on Saturday to maintain the pressure.
