LONDON (AP) -- Manchester United and Chelsea are headed for a showdown in the Champions League final, but both clubs are also confident they can win their head-to-head race for the English title.

Level on points with two rounds to go, it's neck and neck in the sprint to the finish. The Premier League title won't be decided until the final day of the league season on May 11.
United hosts West Ham on Saturday (7:30 a.m. ET), but Chelsea doesn't play until Monday (11 a.m. ET) when it has a far more difficult game at Newcastle.
That means the Blues have five days to recover from Wednesday's emotional 3-2 victory over Liverpool, a result that earned them a place in the Champions League final after three semifinal eliminations in four years.
Although United has been chasing the double for years, the fact that Chelsea has made it to the final and is close to a league title is a personal triumph for manager Avram Grant, who replaced Jose Mourinho in September and wasn't considered in the same league as the self-proclaimed “Special One.”
“I understand the criticism I had at the beginning,” said Grant, who was even jeered by Blues fans because of his team's unimaginative play.
“In these days, I needed to prove more than others that my team knows how to play football and handle difficult days. We have created history and it is very important for this club.”
Chelsea won two league titles in a row under Mourinho after having not won the domestic title for half a century.
Winning at Newcastle won't be easy, however, now that Kevin Keegan has finally turned around a dismal run.
The Magpies lost six games and drew three after the former England coach returned to the club, but they are unbeaten in their last seven matches with four victories and three draws.
The last time Man United played West Ham at home it lost 1-0 on a goal by Carlos Tevez, who has since swapped clubs. The Red Devils had already clinched the league title then and collected the trophy at the end of the game despite the defeat, which kept the Hammers in the top flight.
Wigan is unlikely to have anything to play for when United visits in the final round, while Chelsea has a home game against relegation-threatened Bolton.
Beaten 2-1 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last week to allow the Blues to be level on points, United bounced back by beating FC Barcelona 1-0 in the Champions League semifinals.
“It's a big bonus to beat Barcelona,” United defender Mikael Silvestre said. “It makes it much easier to recover in time for Saturday. We are full of confidence. We didn't lose it at Chelsea, and against West Ham at home and Wigan away we are 100 per cent confident we can win the title.”
While United and Chelsea chase the title, the struggle to avoid relegation is just as close.
Although last-place Derby has long been sure of going down and appears to be headed to a record low points total, next-to-last Fulham kept its hopes alive with a 3-2 victory at Manchester City last week to be only three points from safety.
Roy Hodgson's team, which has 30 points, hosts Birmingham (10 a.m. ET), which is one place higher with 32. Also Saturday, Reading, which has 33, welcomes Tottenham (10 a.m. ET), and Bolton, also on 33, receives Sunderland (noon ET), which is safe.
Middlesbrough has 36 points and hosts Portsmouth, while Wigan has 37 and visits Aston Villa.
Derby, which has 11 points and comes off a 6-2 loss at home to Arsenal, visits Blackburn. On Sunday, Arsenal entertains Everton and Liverpool welcomes Manchester City, which looks likely to lose manager Sven-Goran Eriksson at the end of the season.
Although the fans want the former England manager to stay, owner Thaksin Shinawatra may well fire him after ninth-place City failed to follow up on its impressive start and now has no chance of playing in Europe next season.
Promotion to the top flight will be decided on Sunday.
West Bromwich Albion is almost certainly there because it holds a three-point lead over third-place Hull and has a far superior goal difference. The Baggies go to Queens Park Rangers in Sunday's final round, while second-place Stoke, which is two points behind, hosts Leicester, which is in danger of relegation to League One.
Hull, which has never been in the top flight, goes to Ipswich, which is chasing a spot in the promotion playoffs.
