Keane tips Chelsea

Roy Keane has backed Chelsea to prevent Manchester United from claiming the Premier League title this season.

The former United skipper has a "gut feeling" the Blues will lift the title although the possible acquisition of Dimitar Berbatov could sway him.

Sunderland manager Keane said: "For me, it's Chelsea this year. I always felt that United would do it last year but I fancy Chelsea this time."

He added: "There's no African Cup of Nations in January, they've got a new manager, they've bought one or two players and, for all the ups and downs, last year they still nearly nicked it.

"If United get a top striker in then they've got a chance. But my gut feeling this year would still be Chelsea."
