Man Utd given boost by Ferdinand

Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand could face Roma in Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final, despite fears he had injured his foot on Sunday.

The defender limped out of their 2-2 draw at Middlesbrough but a scan on Monday revealed nothing was broken.
Sir Alex Ferguson said Ferdinand would have a fitness test on Wednesday and if he was not fit, Gary Neville or Mikael Silvestre could deputise.
Neville has been out for 13 months and Silvestre last played in September. "I am hoping Rio will play," said Ferguson.
"His scan was clear, that was the important thing. Therefore we are hoping we can get him fit to face Roma.
"We will report at 1100 on Wednesday, so he will have to do something at that time."
However, fellow central defender Nemanja Vidic is definitely out as he faces two or three weeks on the sidelines after falling awkwardly in the 2-0 first-leg win in Rome.
Sunday's draw with Middlesbrough leaves United only three points ahead of Chelsea, who they play at Stamford Bridge on 26 April, and six points ahead of Arsenal, who they face on Sunday.

Man City 0-2 Chelsea

Chelsea saw off Manchester City to move to within two points of Premier League leaders Manchester United.
Avram Grant's side were gifted the lead when Richard Dunne diverted Nicolas Anelka's cross into his own net.
City responded by creating a succession of good chances and Carlo Cudicini did well to keep out Martin Petrov's shot.
But Salomon Kalou rounded Joe Hart and slotted home to give Chelsea breathing space, and only two superb Hart saves stopped Anelka adding to their tally.

It was a vital win for Chelsea and means they maintain the pressure on United, who travel to play Middlesbrough on Sunday.
Grant was in charge when Chelsea thumped City 6-0 at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season and the way they began this game suggested they would enjoy another walk in the park.
The visitors were well on top even before Dunne diverted Anelka's cross past Hart while trying to prevent it from reaching Michael Essien.
Only a superb saving tackle by Nedum Onuoha stopped Anelka when he broke free again minutes later as Grant's side continued to press.
Things looked ominous for City, who have gone off the boil badly in recent weeks and have only won three of their last 15 league games.
But they responded well and with better finishing could have been level by the break.
Petrov rattled one shot wide and Michael Johnson skied a volley when well placed.
City went even closer when Benjani pulled the ball back for Stephen Ireland, who saw his goalbound shot cannon over off Juliano Belletti's leg. And it took a superb save from Cudicini to tip over out Petrov's next effort - which was heading for the top corner - before Ashley Cole had to clear Johnson's deflected shot off the line.
Chelsea were still looking dangerous on the break and only another superb Onuoha tackle stopped Anelka when he found more space in the area.
But it was not until Kalou scored their second goal that they looked at all comfortable with the lead.

Kalou and Essien celebrate Chelsea's second goal.
Essien was involved again in the build-up, with his pass deflecting off the luckless Dunne and into the path of the Ivory Coast striker, who finished with aplomb.
That ended City's hopes of getting anything from the game and if not for Hart they would have suffered an even heavier defeat.
The England Under-21 star did well to deny Anelka in a one-on-one situation when he ran through seconds after Kalou had scored.
And Hart made an even better stop when he tipped the Frenchman's header on to the bar before recovering to paw away the rebound.
Chelsea can head into the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Fenerbahce on Tuesday with renewed confidence.
But City's slump continues and a serious-looking injury to Onuoha, who was stretchered off in pain before the end, added to what was a frustrating afternoon for their manager Sven-Goran Eriksson.
