Manchester United's dramatic 1998 collapse in throwing away a 12
point lead to eventual winners Arsenal is not something boss Sir
Alex Ferguson is anticipating will happen again.
The Reds moved five points clear of nearest challengers
Liverpool on Wednesday night with a 3-0 victory over Fulham at Old
Trafford.
Ferguson said: "You can never be dead sure but it is fair to say
Chelsea have an uphill fight now.
"Things can happen. We were 12 points clear of Arsenal in 1998
but we got a lot of injuries and lost the league.
"Now we can cope with it, like we have done in the last few
weeks.
"That is the change at this club. We have such a big squad we
can make changes."
