Manchester United reserves coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes they can still trump Chelsea for the Premiership title.
If Liverpool can beat Chelsea this weekend, United will suddenly find themselves installed as title favourites. If Chelsea win, Carlo Ancelotti's men will almost certainly land the prize.
It promises to be a nail-biter, with Solskjaer admitting the best place to be is on the pitch.
"It is not so bad as a player," said the Norwegian.
"You are looking forward to the games and, in a sense, you are in charge of your own destiny.
"As a coach and a fan it is worse because you are standing on the outside. All you can do is stand there and hope.
"We still have a chance. We had that dreadful week where we went out against Bayern Munich and then drew with Blackburn.
"But you can't feel sorry for yourself. It was time to respond and we have. We are in with a shout, which is where we wanted to be."
