Title Race

Manchester United still sit atop of the EPL table, but a draw after a 4-4 draw with Everton, find themselves just three points ahead of Manchester City.  The reduction of their lead has had much to do with the resurgence of Roberto Mancini's side, as City have regained the form needed to make the chase for the title a two-horse race.  

As far back as I can remember, this year's title pursuit has been the most exciting for in recent history. Although it's become strictly the battle of Manchester, both side have hit form worthy of claiming the trophy come May 13th.


Below are the predictions I made after the January transfer window closed

Table Predictions

1. Manchester United
2. Manchester City 
3. Tottenham 
4. Arsenal

Relegation 
18. Wolverhampton 
19. Blackburn
20. Wigan


As the standing currently sit, Wolverhampton has already been relegated after their defeat by Manchester City at the weekend.  If the league was to end today, they would be joined by Bolton and Blackburn Rovers. 

If the season ended today, this would be the final standings. 

Top 4 

1. Manchester United
2. Manchester City
3. Arsenal
4. Newcastle United

Bottom 3

18. Blackburn 
19. Bolton FC 
20. Wolverhampton 

The way I see the season panning out, it will be an extremely wild ride.  I encourage all football followers to keep a close on the title race, as we know that almost nothing is a given in the Barclays Premier League -- expect Sir Alex Ferguson will be chewing gum in the dugout.
