Manchester United defender John O'Shea believes the Reds have what it takes to beat Chelsea on Sunday.

Chelsea can overtake United at the top of the Barclays Premier League with a win at Old Trafford, but O'Shea is in confident mood after Sir Alex Ferguson's side reached the Champions League final with a 6-1 aggregate win over Schalke last night.

"The game at Old Trafford on Sunday is set for a classic," O'Shea told the Manchester Evening News. "We think our excellent home form will see us through."

Chelsea's attempt to defend their Premier League title looked finished after their draw at Stoke a month ago, but a run of five straight wins, aided by Arsenal's victory over United last weekend, have put Carlo Ancelotti's side back in the race.

At the other end of the table, West Ham welcome Blackburn to Upton Park where a victory would take the Hammers off the bottom of the table and plunge Blackburn deeper into trouble.

And striker Robbie Keane believes his side can beat the drop.

Keane told Sky Sports: "There are a few games to go, if we can get nine or seven points that could be enough.

"It's so close down there, but I still think we have enough to get ourselves out of it."
