Don't know if Liverpool can win.

Man U has a relatively gentle run + a game in hand. They have to drop a game and draw one from the following and Liverpool must win all their remaining games:

05 April Aston Villa (home)
11 April Sunderland (away)
19 April Wigan (away)
22 April Portsmouth (home)
25 April Tottenham (home)

02 May Middlesbrough (away)
09 May Man City (home)
16 May Arsenal (home)
24 May Hull City (away)

Liverpool's run in:

Fulham v Liverpool
Liverpool v Blackburn
Liverpool v Arsenal
Hull v Liverpool
Liverpool v Newcastle
West Ham v Liverpool
West Brom v Liverpool
Liverpool v Tottenham

I think Man U is definitely still in the driver's seat, but I guess stranger things have happened. Liverpool has been pretty patchy all year though and don't have anywhere near the squad depth Man U does. If they keep progressing though the CL I think it will actually harm their EPL hopes.

Chelsea is an outside chance too, but they'll need a miracle to win imo.

Sunderland, Man C, Arsenal and Wigan could prove tricky for Man U. I can def see them dropping 4 points from those games, but can Liverpool keep winning with their CL commitments also to play?

Tough!

I think the title race is wide open again.

The real telling factor will be whether United can bounce back, or whether this drop in form is serious. It's been coming as well, they've been grinding wins out for a while and not really playing all that well.
There next game is at home to Villa, not an easy fixture. With Vidic, Scholes, Rooney (and possibly Berbatov) all not available who knows what could happen.

Premier leagues interesting again. Champions league is amazing this year.. Bundeliga is exciting as hell and maybe La Liga can produce a a big final with madrid and barca..

Man what a year for great moments of football =)

I actually think Arsenal will win the league next season when Fabregas, Adebayor, all the injured players return

Arsenal rhymes with 4th place.
I don't see them getting anything but 4th place in the next 3 years.


Maybe if Abramovich sells chelsea along with all their big players, then Arsenal might get 3rd place.

I think when that core of Fabregas Adebayor Van Persie, etc matures it will be like Henry/Vieira again. Losing Flamini was a really big blow, they also need more depth in the squad obviously to cover the injuries.

Injuries can't be covered because they're unpredictable. You don't have a big name on the bench to cover a future injury. Arsenal suffered the same as Madrid, how do you cover Van Nistelrooy or Fabregas? There's no way.

might not replace them but they can cover for a certain period of time tho.

i wonder who Juande will do when Nistelrooy gets back, considering Huntelaar is scoring lots of goals lately

Adebayor's pretty rubbish imo. I'd be more inclined to go with Eduardo when he's fully fit and confident again.
