Manchester United midfielder
Darren Fletcher admits they would gain a mental edge on
Chelsea if they can win in
London this weekend.
United are trailing behind Premiership leaders Chelsea in the current standings.
"There's a long way to go yet in the title race, but Sunday's
game could be important psychologically," he told MUTV.
"We'll just concentrate on ourselves - we know we're capable of
going there and winning. It won't be easy, but we'll go there with
a game plan and the manager will have a lot of options for the side
he wants to pick and we'll try and get a result."
After years of duking it out for top honours at home and abroad,
United and Chelsea have few
secrets. Nevertheless, Fletcher insists the reigning champions are
capable of inflicting a rare home defeat on the Blues.
"They're a top side," he said. "We've both been challenging for
the title over the last five or six years and there's great respect
between the two sides. We know what to expect, it'll be a great
challenge for us at Stamford Bridge. They've got a great record
there, but it's up to us to go there and try and get the win."
