Robson says Chelsea or Man Utd will win title

29 July 2010 12:25

Former England captain Bryan Robson, seen here in February 2010, said that Chelsea and Manchester United are likely to slug it out again for the Premier League title when the new season kicks off next month.

SINGAPORE (AFP) - Chelsea and Manchester United are likely to slug it out again for the Premier League title when the new season kicks off next month, former England captain Bryan Robson said Thursday.

"For me, the title will come from Chelsea, Man United," Robson, the former United star who is now Thailand's national coach, said at a football forum in Singapore.

"I think there are only two who (are) in the race here. That's my opinion but then you are going to have the Arsenal, Liverpool, (Manchester) City," he said at the Soccerex Asian Forum.

Chelsea and Manchester United have recently dominated the EPL, with the Blues eventually lifting last season's trophy after a nail-biting finish.

Chelsea pipped defending champions United by a point with a record haul of 103 goals when they thrashed Wigan 8-0 in their final league game.
