London:  Ryan Giggs is determined to crown his glittering career by helping Manchester United break Chelsea's Premiership dominance.

The 33-year-old shows no signs of losing his desire for silverware despite a trophy-laden 16 years at Old Trafford that has included eight Premierships titles, four FA Cups and the Champions League.

The Welsh winger has been in fine form this season and claims he is never tempted to rest on his laurels because he enjoys life with United so much.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side are two points ahead of reigning champions Chelsea as they prepare for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa and Giggs wants to savour the sweet taste of Premiership success one more time.

"Manchester United have given me everything I've possibly wanted," Giggs told the PFA's website. Some people, like Alan Shearer for example, have great careers, but don't win trophies," he said.

"I've been lucky to win so much and get the friendships I've enjoyed. It's been the whole package. I wouldn't swap my career with anyone's. I am a much more confident person than when I started here. But I'm definitely more boring. The parties. The girls, that's all gone," he said.

"Consistency wise, I think I'm in the best form of my life. I'm really enjoying it, perhaps more than ever," he said.

If United lose against Villa, Chelsea could go top of the table with a win at Wigan in Saturday's late game.

Chelsea assistant manager Steve Clarke has no doubts that the Premiership is now a two-horse race between his side and United.

Clarke does not expect Liverpool or Arsenal to gate-crash the title battle.

"Manchester United have done well this season and we have done very well. That is why we are both clear at the top of the table," said Clarke.

"There is a significant gap back to third place, so you have to take your hat off to the top two and say we are looking forward to the fight in the second half of the season for the Premier League,"  he said.

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez fears his players are being put at risk by the Premiership's hectic Christmas fixture list.

Like every club in the top-flight, Benitez's side will play four games in 10 days and he believes the intensive schedule puts too much strain on the players.

The Anfield team's Christmas programme starts with a home match against rock-bottom Watford and is followed by clashes with Blackburn, Tottenham and Bolton.

Benitez told Liverpool's website:"There are two things we need to consider. The first is that there are four games and that's a lot. But also, you want to keep the tradition. I think maybe two games is enough though you want to play Boxing Day and New Year's Day.

"We cannot change the situation now but it is impossible for a player to be physically fit in three days. There is more of a risk for them.

"We must give the players some time. We can't be normal people going to parties and whatever but you must give the players something, but maybe not all the things they deserve," he said.

Arsenal defender Gael Clichy has told Arsene Wenger he must keep faith with the club's young guns.

Wenger's side host Blackburn knowing that their title hopes are effectively over before Christmas after being held five times in nine league matches at their new Emirates Stadium.

The French coach's decision to give several of the club's talented youngsters their chance at the same time hasbeen blamed for that lack of consistency.

But Clichy insists there is no reason to use age as an excuse for the Gunners' inconsistent results.

"We do not need to hide behind the age of the team. We are young, we know that," the 21-year-old French left back told Arsenal TV online.

"If we want to be top players then we have to play like top players. So all of us, the older players too, we have to carry on and work hard," he said.
