Liverpool striker Fernando Torres believes Manchester United are favourites to win the Premier League title after their 3-0 win over Chelsea.

The Anfield outfit head the table but United, who are five points behind in third place, have two games in hand.

"They are the favourites and the champions right now and have shown over the years they are a very powerful team," said the 24-year-old Spaniard.

"They have two more games to play. If they catch up they will be top."

Torres, who was one of the nominees for the Fifa Player of the Year award, which was won by United winger Cristiano Ronaldo, believes Liverpool's match at Old Trafford on 14 March could decide the destination of the title.

"We know we have Old Trafford waiting for us and Arsenal and Chelsea at home - we have to fight until the very end," added the forward.

"The match at Old Trafford could turn out to be the decider and we hope we can be on an equal footing when we go there and try to win the match at a place that has not been advantageous for us in the past."

United play host to Wigan on Wednesday before visiting Bolton on Saturday.

Wins would result in Sir Alex Ferguson's side gaining the advantage in the title race, with Liverpool not playing their next Premier League match until Monday - when they face Everton in a Merseyside derby at Anfield.

Let's just hope we're still in it come the Old Trafford match, many more performances like Saturday and we won't be.

i think we'll be alright - as long as we don't see many more questionable lineup calls.  Also, If Torres is 100% and doesn't miss any significant stretches, then i really think we'll be up to the challenge  this year.  look how well we've done without one of our best players... This is Liverpool's year IMO.

Besides, who are Man U anyways?  Just a bunch of guys.  Sure they're good, but sometimes  they get way too much respect from other teams.  I'm sure Torres was just "saying the right things", and i'm sure he knows that ManU can be solved by this Liverpool team.

Get 'er done.

He's right, it'll be up 2 us 2 stop them, but we're letting our chances slip with 2 many draws

Form is temporary, class is permanent...

well his statement can be true if and only if man utd can win their games on hand. but the premiership title is still wide open until now. we should be positive and try and win each and every remaining games that we have
