Chelsea midfielder Florent Malouda admits he is eagerly anticipating the clash with Manchester United as the Blues look to gain the upper hand in the title race.

Just few months back, Carlo Ancelotti’s side trailed United by 15 points and they are now in a position to move to the top of the standings with a victory at Old Trafford.

Chelsea are 4.50 (7/2) with Victor Chandler to clinch the Premier League title and Florent Malouda believes that is more than possible.

“We were third and wanted to be ahead of Arsenal by winning all of our remaining games,” Malouda told The Mirror.

“All we could do was win all our matches and hope United dropped points to let us back in the title race. That is what’s happened and now it is down to details in the big games.

“In these games, there is a lot of pressure but it is in the big games that you see our players’ character. We enjoy these games. We have to make sure we play at our best level.”

The Frenchman is currently team’s top scorer in the Premiership, having scored 13 league goals and is now 5.00 (4/1) with William Hill to score at Old Trafford.

“It’s the best I’ve done in one season in the league, although I’ve scored more in all competitions,” he said.

“The goal against West Ham was really instinctive. The ball was there and it was like a challenge, because, if I waited half a second more, the defender would have had time to tackle me.

“At the moment I have scored more than Didier Drogba, but that is not normal. Didier will finish ahead of me, without any doubt.

“I’m pleased because there are only three games left in the season and it means I’m an important member of the squad if I am the top scorer.”
