SCHOLES' LUCK IS IN

Speaking to MUTV he said:

"A bit of luck has helped me, things like my goal against West Brom have
been going in, whereas last year they'd be hitting the post or would have gone
wide. The goal against Blackburn was lucky as well. Things seem to be falling
in the right place for me and I am getting on the end of things better than last
year."

"We had to win those games against Birmingham, Sunderland and West
Brom. With Chelsea coming up, those three were important to win just to keep
in touch with Arsenal."

"I hope we will get another win on Saturday and keep putting pressure on
them. If we are going to catch up on Arsenal then we are going to have to put
another 10-game run together where we just win every game and hopefully
see where that takes us."

"So Saturday is a massive game for us. We have to beat them. A draw is not
good enough. We just have to win games. Beating Chelsea on Saturday
would be a great result for us but it is always a difficult game. It won't be any
different."
