I am suprised by the arsenal.They are fantastic.But they are only 2 points ahead and thats where the problem lies,they have a daunting trip to the theatre of dreams or in this case it could be nightmares.Chelsea had a huge slip up on saturday.4 points and 6 points is a huge difference.I think its a two horse race and this weekend I feel liverpool will get a draw or a victory this weekend.My vote though goes to villa!(I wish!). Seriously I feel united will win it.They have a fantastic squad and they can deal with all the competitions.It could though depend on where fergusons priorities lie though.I think its europe with the munich anniversary.Very close though.but united for me.

realy it is a very tricky situation for all three b/c the either get more points against each other or ealse they will face a very thick and puzzling road to the title. so i think it will be manutd and arsena at last b/c they have the key premierleague players in them like adebayor,cesc,c.ronaldo and the great schols. so it remains to be a very tight arsenal and manutd win that could result to the knowing of who will win the last game.

i would personally put a little wager on the gunners for the league title and the fa cup which didnt look likely when the great terry henry left for pastures new.but to all gunners fans out there your team has played a blinder and the football is spectacular,man united will find it hard to catch you over the last hurdle and with chelseas drogba wanting to fly the nest it looks like its plain sailing aslong as you keep coming out all guns blazing and keep your arsenal strong shooting down the opposition wont be a problem

arsenal to win the league on the last day and regarding there 2 crucial games to manu and chelsea, they will draw against united and then sneak a late winner against chelsea to win say 2-1 but overall the season may very well be decided by chelsea for they have both arsenal and united visiting them and what happens then may decide the outcome, but for me arsenal to win.

indeed a tight race at that, i, being an ardent supporter of the gunners, w'd hate to have the case of dejavu all over again...am sure y'all rem last season when in a space of two wks they lost every single cup they were fighting for and went from potential cup contenders to just another midtable premiership club. it was devastating and seeing that arsene wenger hasnt made any major signs this january.....i pray that he knows what he's doing

with lots of young players, it will be difficult for them to be consistant in every game left. they have the potential to against big clubs even beat them but its against clubs fighting relegation which will prove decisive for them. they lack of experince in playing these type of matches.

arsenal have been the best team this year, the league doesnt lie but i believe this three horse race to title is far from over. chelsea haven't lost at home will who can remember, exactly so arsenal and man utd and liverpool all got to away trips to the bridge 9 points to grabbed there and chelsea will fight plus we have terry lamps and drogba to come back oh it's coming the blue tidal wave.

I think the Gunners will win the trophy and before a stone is thrown in my direction I will give my reasons. Firstly ManU despite being in blistering form fail to show up for games without Rooney and Ronaldo especially.Arsenal on the other hand has patched up results with notable absentees like Fab,Flamini and Van P(for most of the season).With Van P nearing return And Toure coming back I dont see the gunners losing the title.Chelsea.... I really dont see their title assault coming through despite putting up an amazing run over the past ten games.they still dont have the steel and never-say-die attitude evidenced in Mour's assembly which is an essential ingridient.

I dont support any of these teams so have a pretty much neutral opinion. I think that Arsenal have the toughest fixtures and have reached their full potential for the season, I think United could still step up another gear, however I think with the players Chelsea have yet to return and the fact they have home games against the other two still to play, my money would be on them being the strongest finishers.

Before anyone says what does an Australian guy in his 20s know about the English Premier League- let me just say at the start of the season i backed Fulham for relegation- not even Mr F can save them!! going to win a packet if they start where they are- which they will- it's all very good and well to draw games- there pretty good at that- but unless you can win games you won't stay up. I also got Arsenal at 3/1 a month or so back and hoping that they can stave off Man U- i think they will..although looking at this site i'm annoyed i didn't look earlier in the season- 12/1 gees!

People started writing Chelsea off too early in my (admittedly biased opinion). I think Grant has done a fantastic job keeping us in the race. The problem we face though is his inability to help us rise to the big occasions. Hence beating Arsenal or Manutd is going to be very hard. On the other hand should we be knocked out of the Champions League earlier it may work in our favour given the ridiculous number of abscences we have experienced. Should we win our game in hand we will be 4 points behind arsenal and 3 behind manutd. Working on the basis that results between the three determine the race chelsea would have to beat both. And Manutd beat arsenal. However Manutd would still lead due to goal difference. I'm hoping this will be a tight one, even if Chelsea lose out though I think they deserve credit for the resolve. Yeah we may have bought a lot of top players but you cannot buy team ethic.
