Manchester United also suffered a defeat at the weekend.  Chelsea knocked off Man U 2-1 to go equal on points with Man U with 2 matches to remain.  Man Utd are ahead on goal difference.  When it seemed like Man Utd would have clinched the EPL title by this weekend, Man Utd have some more pressure on them because of the potential they will be finishing the season empty handed if they don't win their next three matches (Barcelona, Wigan, and West Ham).  

I hope we see Man Utd play with that pressure on their shoulders and if Barcelona can come out and score quickly Man Utd will press even more.

Another thing that Man Utd will have to contend with is the absence of Rooney and Vidic.  It is uncertain whether both will be in the line-up.  Despite Ferguson's statements that he will be unleashing Rooney on Barca's defense, it is unclear if he will be healthy after picking up a hip injury.

26 hours and counting...
