Play by play
- 95'
They know this is it, judging by the celebrations on the pitch and in the stands. United thoroughly deserve it on today's performance too, they were all over Chelsea in the first half. They now need just one point from games against Blackburn and Blackpool to be confirmed as Champions for a 19th time.
- 95'
<b>FULL TIME</b> It's all over! United celebrate as if they have won the title!
- 94'
Cole clips Park and with less than a minute left, that is surely that.
- 93'
Excitement grows in the stands as United move towards the brink of the title....
- 92'
Malouda outwits Rooney on the right but though his cross finds Drogba he wastes a pass.
- 91'
Again Valencia breezes past Cole and finds Rooney but he waits too long to strike and is crowded out of it.
- 90'
Four minutes added...

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Drogba's temper gets the better of him and lunges in two-footed on Carrick.
- 89'
What a chance for 3-1. Valencia's cross is cleared only as far as Giggs, who passes to Hernandez, but he scuffs his shot and it dribbles wide.
- 88'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Fabio hobbles off and Chris Smalling is on.
- 88'
A chance for Torres inside the box as he is left momentarily free, but he drags a shot wide of the post, to sum up his time so far in Chelsea blue.
- 87'
What a cross from Valencia! He drills a fierce ball from the byline to Hernandez, who heads over from five yards. It was ferociously hit though.
- 86'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Ramires is carded, for a pull on Giggs.
- 85'
Ramires crosses from wide but Ferdinand nods clear. Chelsea pushing plenty forward now.
- 84'
Another excellent tackle from Park, who has been at his industrious best today.
- 83'
Evans tries to waste time by the corner flag. Bit early for that perhaps.
- 82'
Now Rooney has two good chances inside 30 seconds, lingering too long when clean through first time round, then having a shot from inside the area deflected narrowly over the bar.
- 81'
Evans does well down the left, Giggs finds Rooney but though he has an excellent window to shoot in he drags it wide.
- 80'
This is petering out a little now. Still time for Chelsea to make it interesting though.
- 79'
As we restart, Ivanovic's long throw falls to Torres and his powerful volley is blocked by what looked like Valencia's arm. Nothing doing with Webb.
- 78'
Now Fabio hits the turf too. Time wasting tactics perhaps?
- 77'
Ferdinand nods away a cross and his legs go to jelly, then Evans is pole-axed after an aerial challenge with Ramires.
- 76'
We await Chelsea's final assault....
- 75'
Half a chance for Drogba as Ivanovic stands up a cross to the back post. He heads over though, and was offside to boot.
- 74'
Cole flies down the left but Essien waits too long to unload the pass and Van der Sar is out.
