Keegan awaits Chelsea game

Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan is keen on a seventh straight victory for the club and hopes to continue the successful run against Chelsea and to put a huge dent in the Premiership title chasing ambitions.

He said: "I was talking to (West Ham boss) Alan Curbishley after our game at Upton Park on Saturday - they have got to go to Old Trafford on Saturday and we have got Chelsea at home on the Monday.

"I guess they might have the harder game on paper, but we have got a chance to go and see how far we have come. It will be a great atmosphere at St James'.

"I really don't care who wins the title, but I want us to put in a performance against Chelsea and if by doing that, we help Manchester United win the title, that's just the way it goes. We are trying to win a game.

"No doubt about it, this is the greatest league in the world, and if you need that underlining, just look at the league table and what's to play for with two games left. It's incredible."
