Soccer:Ryan Giggs has insisted that Manchester United have not given up on reclaiming their Premier League crown.
The Red Devils had been hoping to claim an unprecedented fourth successive title but their bid took a major dent over the weekend as they drew with Blackburn a week after crashing to a home defeat against Chelsea.
And the Blues can now go four points clear at the top tonight as they play their game in hand against Bolton.
And while Giggs admits that United are no longer favourites, he is refusing to throw in the towel.
"It is certainly in Chelsea and Arsenal's hands now," he said. "We dropped points at Blackburn which was disappointing - but we will keep fighting to the end and hopefully Arsenal and Chelsea will drop points and we will capitalise."
Giggs is now looking ahead to Saturday's Manchester derby against City.
"It was always going to be huge at this time of the year, they are going for fourth and we are going for the championship and derby days anyway are massive," he said.
"There is a bit of extra spice to this game but we have faced them three times this year and they have all been great games so hopefully that will be the case again with us coming out on top."
Giggs was forced off at Blackburn with injury but he is hopeful of facing City.
"I just strained my hamstring against Blackburn, I felt it in first 20 minutes but the scan showed nothing so I should be okay," he said.
