Cesc Fabregas feels Manchester United deserve to fend off Chelsea and win the Premiership title.
The Arsenal midfielder has seen his own side fail to mount a title challenge this term, despite The Gunners being one of only two teams to beat United in the league.
With the Premiership entering its final stages, The Red Devils hold a six-point lead over the defending champions.
Spanish ace Fabregas admits it would be dangerous to dismiss Chelsea's chances of overhauling United over the final eight games.
But he concedes that he would expect Sir Alex Ferguson's side to hold on to their advantage and win the title for the first time in four years.
"Right now Man Utd, they are playing really well and playing good football," Fabregas told Sky Sports News.
"Chelsea, they are behind six points and you never know what can happen in football - there are still nine (sic) games to go.
"It's always difficult to predict who is going to win, but at the moment I think Man Utd deserve to win."
Yeah and nxt season it'l lbe our turn to win!!...i hope.
