Amos ready for Chelsea
Manchester United's Ben Amos says he is ready to take his chance if selected against Chelsea.
The goalkeeper Ben Amos is determined to impress at Stamford Bridge if required by Manchester United on Sunday.
After Sir Alex Ferguson endured a "nightmare" Monday, when both Anders Lindegaard and David de Gea were ruled out, Amos was given his chance in Tuesday's Premier League win over Stoke.
Now attention has turned to the weekend when, after joining Manchester City at the top of the Premier League, United must try and stay there by beating Chelsea on their own ground in a top-flight game for the first time since 2002.
Although Ferguson did not offer an update on Lindegaard or De Gea, neither man was included in a list of those who have a chance of being fit for the weekend, which means Amos may be picked for the biggest game of his life.
"I have been waiting a long time for an opportunity this season and thankfully it has come," said the 21-year-old.
"I feel I am ready to play at this level and it has been kind of frustrating that these chances don't come around. But you have to be ready when something like that happens and you are thrown straight in and I like to think I made the most of it."
