Man U can snatch title from Chelsea
After 8 consecutive wins, Manchester United is now able to close the gap between them and Chelsea to 7 points, down from a massive 15 points eight matches ago. Back then, everybody have somoehow concluded that the title will be Chelsea's again but after the latest win by Man U and Chelsea's draw at lowly Brimingham, people are sitting up (including myself) to look at the whole table again; 7 points apart and 6 games more to play, including one head to head match. Is it possible for Man U to win it?
Using the very simple but smart tool at www.myfootballcrazy.com (choose tool at the nav. bar), I am able to better look at the possibilities and the final score.
For Chelsea to win, the crucial game is not the one against Man United, because definitely they want to have it wrapped up by then. The crucial matches are their home games against West Ham & Everton.
Man United has a big, big game against an equally in-form Arsenal next. If Chelsea win against West Ham and United lost or draw against Arsenal, it will severly dampen the morale at United. If United does not survive the next tough game; at Tottenham, who is also chasing for a Europe. And Chelsea win against Everton, United will find themselves joining the celebration party when they visit Stamford Bridge on 29th April.
For Manchester United to win the title, they have to overcome Thierry Henry and Arsenal. The strength about Arsenal now is that Henry is not the only player carrying the scoring burden. His striking partner, Adebayor is equally lethal.
If United does beat Arsenal and Chelsea doesn't win against West Ham, then the pressure will be on Chelsea. United should then continue their good form and win the rest of the fixtures. They will then need Chelsea to just fumble another game and of course lose the game when they meet on 29th April.
Which of the above scenario will come through is anybody's guess but what is definite is we can expect a nail biting finish to the league title and lots of drama.
