体坛英语新闻:World Cup final ref Webb to reign United-Chelsea match
LONDON, May 3 (Xinhua) -- The potentially Premier League title deciding game between Manchester United and Chelsea will be charged by World Cup final referee Howard Webb.
It was announced on Tuesday that Webb, who's in charge for Spain's victory over the Netherlands during last year's World Cup final in South Africa, will rule the clash at Old Trafford this weekend.
Victory for Chelsea on Sunday would see them go ahead of United on goal difference with just two games of the season left.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been recently complaining about the number of decisions that have gone against his side.
Webb, however, reigned in United's favor earlier this season as he gave them a penalty against Liverpool in an FA Cup tie.
Ferguson was given a five-game touchline ban after criticising referee Martin Atkinson for his performance during the top flight meeting this season between the two sides at Stamford Bridge in March.
