Now this is a title that is going to go right to the wire. For years it's been Arsenal fighting United for the title, then it wen to United fighting Chelsea for the title but after this weeks action, I can see it turning into a four horse race. Arsenal and Liverpool played out a terrific 1-1 draw at Anfield, whilst Chelsea hammered in form Manchester City 6-0 at Stamford Bridge and Man United beat Middlesbrough 4-1 at Old Trafford.Arsenal have surprised many people this season so far, including me, by the manner in which they have been winning games. They are still unbeaten and look a shadow of the team that finished 21 points behind Champions Man United last season. Cesc Fabregas in midfield for Arsenal has undoubtedly been the Premier League's best performer this season and I feel if he stays fit for the season then Arsenal will have a huge chance.
Liverpool are unbeaten so far this season but have drawn too many games. They are on 20 points with five wins and five draws. They looked superb against Derby earlier in the season beating them 6-0 but since then they have drawn against sides like Birmingham and Tottenham games that really should be winning to have a real chance but having said that they put up a good display against Arsenal on Sunday and if they can put in that kind of performance every week then they have a great chance.
Many people questioned Chelsea chances of winning this seasons title after they parted company with Jose Mourinho back in September. They appoint Avram Grant, who many people taught was the wrong choice for the job. Since then though they have looked good. Beating Man City on Saturday 6-0 has been the highlight but they went away to Middlebrough last week and performed really well in winning 2-0. I think if Chelsea are to keep all their key players in January and maybe sign a player or two there is no doubt they will be big contenders.
Current Champions, Man United have looked terrific after getting off to a miserable start. They collected only two points from a possible nine at the start of the season but since then they have won every game and have only conceded four goals all season. The pick of Uniteds performances has been there 4-1 victory over Aston Villa last weekend. The patnership of Tevez and Rooney upfront for United has been sensational and if they keep performing like this together then there is no stopping United.
So who do you think will end up winning the league... just leave a comment!
