Evra desperate for Bridge win
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Manchester United defender Patrice Evra is desperate to get one over on title rivals Chelsea when the sides meet on Sunday.[LNB] United travel to Stamford Bridge having not won there since 2002, but in the knowledge that if they come away with a victory they will leapfrog the Blues and go top of the Premier League table.[LNB]Two seasons ago following a game between the two rivals at Stamford Bridge, Evra picked up a four-match ban following a spat with Chelsea groundsman Sam Bethell after the game, and the full-back admits the clash on Sunday will be as tough as always.[LNB]"Every year I think Chelsea will be our main rivals," he said.[LNB]"I am not scared of them but I respect them and they are the most dangerous rivals. I said it last year and the year before and I think it this season as well.[LNB]"Both Drogba (Didier) and Anelka (Nicholas) are good friends of mine. And I know they are both great players.[LNB]"All the defenders need to focus because keeping a clean sheet will be the key to winning this game.[LNB]Strength"We need to be strong because Drogba and Anelka are two big strikers. They are both so quick and strong, although I do feel we have enough quality to do our jobs."[LNB]The 28-year-old left-back continues to argue that he was not the aggressor in the post-match incident at the Bridge last time out, and he is determined to get a result and banish the memories of the past.[LNB]"That story is the past," he added. "It is unfortunate that when I play against Chelsea, something always seems to happen.[LNB]"First it was the ground-staff, then last year I had a bit of an argument with[LNB]Michael Ballack. This year I have to make sure nothing happens because we need to get a result.[LNB]"Apart from the Community Shield, I have never lost against them and I aim to make sure that run continues.[LNB]"If there is one game I want to win this season, it is the one at Stamford Bridge.[LNB]"I didn't know it has been so long since our last victory there. It is the right time to end that run."[LNB]
