CRISTIANO Ronaldo is convinced victory against Blackburn on Saturday will be enough to make United champions.

Though Sir Alex Ferguson's side would still need to beat Chelsea a week later to confirm the title, Ronaldo believes another three points at Ewood Park will kill off the challenge from Avram Grant.

Chelsea face Everton tonight knowing only a win can keep their slim championship hopes alive following Monday's shock draw with Wigan.

But Ronaldo insists it could all be in vain: "When Chelsea dropped points after we won it was fantastic for us," said the Portuguese star. "We are in a good position.

"Blackburn will be a tough game, but if we win we have a good chance to win the title."

While Chelsea as good as conceded their challenge after Monday's draw, Ronaldo believes United proved their title credentials with Sunday's win over Arsenal.

He says it was substitutes Carlos Tevez and Anderson who swung the tie in United's favour.

"We won the game because we changed the players," he said. "Anderson and Carlos came on and changed the game. It's very important for the team to have those sorts of players to come and change things."

Ronaldo says he had no fear after being forced to re-take his penalty against Arsenal: "When I scored the first I didn't know why it was disallowed," he said. "There are only four games left and there was a lot of pressure. But my confidence is high."
