Chelsea regains its swagger for title run-in
Posted Thursday, April 21, 2011 by YAHOO Sport
LONDON (AP)—Having emerged as Manchester United’s most credible challenger for the English title, in-form Chelsea looks to have regained its early season swagger ahead of Saturday’s home match against struggling West Ham.
With the defense looking tighter and Didier Drogba back to his destructive best in attack, a late tilt at the title could be on for the reigning champions, who have moved into second and are six points behind United with five matches left.
While United faces what could prove to be a tough test at home to a buoyant Everton on Saturday, Chelsea will be confident of seeing off a West Ham side that is second from bottom and on a three-match losing run.
Third-place Arsenal, the other side in title contention, visits Bolton on Sunday.
