Chelsea take on Tottenham in the early kick-off tomorrow less than 48 hours after their opponents played Sevilla in the first leg of their UEFA Cup quarter-final in Spain.

Terry declared: "All we can do at this stage of the season is keep winning, winning, winning. It's such a busy period but if we do keep winning, we're going to be successful.

"Manchester United are doing well, there's no denying that, but anything can happen and they've still got to come to our place."

Tottenham boss Martin Jol is likely to rotate some of his players after the 2-1 defeat in Seville, which may mean a return to the starting line up for striker Jermain Defoe.

Mikele Leigertwood's confidence-boosting return from injury has the midfielder feeling optimistic about Sheffield United's chances of escaping relegation.

The Blades are currently 17th in the Barclays Premiership but a point for Charlton at Manchester City this evening would drop Neil Warnock's side into the bottom three.

However, Leigertwood - who was surprisingly handed a recall in the 1-0 defeat against Bolton last weekend after three months on the sidelines with an ankle injury - is remaining positive ahead of the visit of Newcastle tomorrow.

"We have to get our results at Bramall Lane and if we do we will be safe. If we can get all four [home] wins - which I don't see why we can't - we should be all right."

Newcastle boss Glenn Roeder will build his new-look defence around over-worked keeper Shay Given.

The 30-year-old Irishman is in his 10th season at St James' Park and more than most, has had to pick up the pieces of the club's frailty at the back.

Roeder said: "There are parts of the team that quite obviously need to be strengthened, and there is no doubt about it, we need to strengthen in that area.

"We have one of the best three or four goalkeepers in Europe and he is asked at times to make too many saves.

"It is an area we are not strong in and I have been looking in that area of the team to strengthen."

Mark Hughes is calling on his Blackburn side to finish the season with a flourish and claim a European place ahead of the clash with Aston Villa.

"We still feel we have an opportunity to go for Europe through our league position.

"There are games left we think can get maximum points out of.

"We probably need to win five out of those seven matches to have any kind of chance of achieving our ambition. But we are capable of doing it.

"We can take positives out of the Manchester United game as we were excellent in the first 45 minutes."

Aston Villa skipper Gareth Barry believes striker Shaun Maloney will prove to be "a snippet at £1million" despite the stop-start beginning to his career with the midlands club.

Barry told PA Sport: "It has been frustrating for Shaun with the way the fixtures have been. He hasn't had a chance to bed himself in.

"I think he is a bargain signing for us. Not too many people knew much about Shaun but he has impressed me in training and the little bits he's played since he has been here.

"I am sure he is going to turn out to be a good buy for Aston Villa and a snippet at £1million."

Wigan boss Paul Jewell is steeling himself for another potentially nerve-shredding final day of the season after seeing his side get dragged towards the wrong end of the table.

"I'd obviously prefer us to be safe by then, but if it comes down to the last game then that's what happens," shrugged Jewell, whose side host Bolton this weekend.

"It's nothing new to me - but then that's why I've a grey hair or two!"

Bolton manager Sam Allardyce, meanwhile, is hoping a corner has been turned in his side's quest to clinch a place in Europe next season.

As Allardyce statistically points out, Bolton have spent 80% of the current season in the top six of the Barclays Premiership table.

A much-needed victory over relegation strugglers Sheffield United on Saturday steadied a ship that was lilting precariously after a run of three successive defeats.

Bolton are clinging on to fifth place, with Spurs and Everton just two and three points behind, respectively.

"Hopefully we've started to turn the corner with the Sheffield United result," said Allardyce.

"We've now seven games to go to pick up a few wins, and if we can get one of those against Wigan then our destiny will still be in our own hands."
