Manchester: For English football, tonight's the night as Manchester United and Chelsea both battle for the English Premier League supremacy.

The Manchester United museum at Old Trafford has a special place in the hearts of the club fans. In 1999, United got what no English club had ever achieved - the treble of the Premiership, FA Cup and the European Cup.

So no trip to Manchester is complete without a trip to the Old Trafford museum and even though the club can't win a treble this season, but they are on course of winning a double.

Even after being tied at 84 points with Chelsea, Manchester United many say are the deserving winners simply because of the football they have played this season.

"I am really pleased, really pleased that we are doing so well. We have only got to win one match and then we are champions. Then we play in the Champions League final and imagine being the director of a football club when these things happen. It's just sensational," says club legend Sir Bobby Charlton.

On a match day an army of red swamps across the Old Trafford with more than 75,000 people flocking the ground and more often than not United deliver what's expected of them.

"The Munich disaster obviously brought everybody through out the world and know about Manchester United. But then it is the quality of football that United play now that brings everybody in the world and they enjoy watching Man United and the way they play," says Bryan Robson.

Even the English press is on an all time high as Manchester United and Chelsea have offered a fight that has only been seen just thrice in the history of the league.

So its down to show down Sunday for English football's biggest prize as Manchester United and Chelsea will entertain for one last time in England this season.
