Striker Dimitar Berbatov is convinced Chelsea and Manchester United will fill the top two positions in the Premier League at the end of this season.United head to London on Sunday knowing victory will allow them to leapfrog present league leaders Chelsea.Berbatov told MUTV: "I always think Manchester United and Chelsea will be the top two and I don't think this year will be any exception."Ancelotti not looking to buyCarlo Ancelotti will play a waiting game in January after Chelsea's transfer ban was suspended by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.The Chelsea manager insists he has enough faith in his squad.Hw said: "It's a decision that gives us the possibility to buy new players if it's necessary, but at this moment it's not necessary. It's a good thing for the club and the team."Fergie works on defenceSir Alex Ferguson is certain Manchester United will not be as defensively fragile at Chelsea on Sunday as they were in the Champions League this week.He knows there must be no repeat of the shoddy defending that saw them concede three goals against CSKA Moscow.Ferguson said: "We won't be as open as we were on Tuesday. In a way, we experimented a little bit and it didn't particularly work."Title race open: FergieSir Alex Ferguson does not expect the Barclays Premier League title race to take shape until after the next international break.Manchester United head to Chelsea on Sunday knowing a win at Stamford Bridge will put them on top of the table.Sir Alex said: "The league does not settle until all the internationals are over. Once we get over this next bout we will probably see a truer league."
