Sir Alex Ferguson believes the Barclays Premier League title currently is just between Manchester United and Arsenal to lose judging by both team’s form.

The Gunners and Red Devils are currently level on points ahead of Saturday’s clash at the Emirates Stadium, although Arsenal do have a game in hand over United.

Chelsea and Liverpool have suffered slightly more inconsistent starts to the season but Fergie still believes they may launch title challenge of their own after the New Year.

After four year without title, United finally won the first last season and Ferguson is confident he has built a squad capable of retaining the trophy.

Meanwhile, Ferguson also paid tribute to Carlos Tevez, who despite struggling to learn English is letting “the football language talk”.

Tevez is being given private tuition at home to improve his English and Ferguson said he is working hard.

Manchester United have confirmed Rio Ferdinand will be available for Saturday’s Premier League showdown with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.Despite being named captain, Ferdinand was substituted during last weekend’s 4-1 win over Middlesbrough, apparently uninjured.

Reports have surfaced suggesting the 28-year-old had been sent for a scan after a recurrence of the groin problem he sustained at the end of last season and ruled him out of key England games against Brazil and Estonia.

United have officials have opted not to outline the results of the scan, or indeed confirm whether Ferdinand actually had one. (more…)
