Down to the wire: English Premier League

I think Chelsea are now the guys to really watch out for.

Arsenal have a rather small squad, and thus have been spread rather thin. Ever since Eduardo's nasty injury, they have struggled in the premiership and are drawing games they should be winning. The theory I have is that they lost these games last season, this season they are drawing them, and next season they (should be) win them.

Man U had a hard game against Derby with some quarters claiming that Ronaldo's goal was offside. I didn't watch the game though so I can't say. They have a large talented squad, and Ronaldo is already my pick for world player of the year.

Liverpool are hitting form, but they are too far off the pace to win it. But they should secure 4th Place. The up coming Merseyside derby should be very interesting though.

Chelsea are grinding out results. After 6-1 on derby they ground out a win at Sunderland - a place where I thought they may struggle.

So who will win the EPL this time round. I don't know. I know whom I want to win it but in order of probability: Chelsea, Man U then Arsenal.

Whoever manages to win their remaining games of course will win it. But the chances of doing that are rather slim.. Still you never know..
