Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard insists they won't lose their bottle in the title run-in.
But the England midfielder still wants bitter rivals Arsenal to do the Blues a favour by winning at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Chelsea need 11 points from their remaining six games to be certain of back-to-back titles.
But an Arsenal victory at Old Trafford would allow them to wrap things up before United visit Stamford Bridge on April 29.
Lampard admitted: "We want to get the title race over with quickly and we hope to have it finished before we play United."
Alex Ferguson's men have reduced Chelsea's lead from 18 points to seven in the last month but Lampard insists: "We're still confident that we'll win the league."
"At the start of the season if anyone had offered us the chance to be even one point ahead at the beginning of April we'd have taken it.
"It's too early to start thinking about the United match. We've got three games to play before that and we have to make the most of those opportunities."
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is even more bullish. He said: "If we win the three home games we are champions - we don't need a point away."
