Before Sunday’s game between Chelsea and Arsenal, I would probably have said that there were three teams left in this season’s title race- Man United, Chelsea and Arsenal. Even though Arsenal had lost to United 3-1 a week earlier, there was still a feeling that they could possibly get something out of the game and drag themselves back into the race.

Sunday afternoon Arsenal lost 2-0 to Chelsea, taking the blues back to the top of the table, two points ahead of Man United. Arsenal are now nine points behind Chelsea, seven behind United but there are some difficult midweek matches.

All three teams play on Wednesday. Man United face Aston Villa, down at Villa Park. Chelsea play Everton at Goodison Park and Arsenal have Liverpool at the Emirates. These are all difficult games, so if Arsenal win and both Man United and Chelsea lose does the race for the title go back to a three horse race? In my opinion, no, Arsenal are too far behind.

Chelsea go to Everton who are 9th in the current league table, five points behind Birmingham City. Everton got off to an awful start to the season but recently we have seen a Toffees side that we are more used to seeing. I would love to say that Chelsea are going to drop points here but I don’t think they will.

That leaves Arsenal vs Liverpool. Arsene Wenger was under the impression that the better team lost yesterday. There is no doubting that Arsenal play attractive football but that isn’t going to win them titles. No matter what happens on Wednesday between the two teams, I think that the race for the title is over for Arsenal.

That leaves Man United and Chelsea left to battle it out to be English Champions. Both teams will drop points before May there is no doubting that. Looking at all of the final Premier League matches for both United and Chelsea it looks fairly even. The only difference in teams they have to play is that United have Fulham and Sunderland, Chelsea have Portsmouth and Wigan, otherwise they are the same.
