Michael Ballack: Liverpool Are Chelsea's Biggest Threat, Not Manchester United

The Blues' midfield meister has downplayed the Red Devils' title hopes ahead of Sunday's crunch clash...

As he prepares to step out at Old Trafford this afternoon, Michael Ballack has declared that Manchester United are no longer the “major threat” to Chelsea's title ambitions.

The Germany captain instead believes that Liverpool, who drew 0-0 with Stoke City yesterday, are the main obstacle the Blues must overcome in their quest for a fourth English championsip.

Ballack said in the News of the World, “A few weeks ago I was sure United were our strongest opponents but now I think Liverpool are the major threat.”
