"Three Horse Race"

It now seems according to Owen Hargreaves that the chase for the title has effectively become a "3 horse race". Liverpool are 14 points of the pace and that is a large gap to close down. Liverpool have been out of contention for the title the last couple of years and this year is no different.

The title will be battled out between Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea. Neither of these teams' form seem to be fluctuating. Manchester United and Arsenal are both playing attractive football and winning. Even with Jose Mourinho's departure, Chelsea have not fallen to far behind the wagon.

Chelsea are only 4 points behind leaders Manchester United, while Arsenal are level on points with United. With Liverpool's off-pitch trouble and current form they may even sturggle to qualify for the Champions league if this trend continues.

Everton, Aston Villa and Manchester City all on 40 points at the moment seem set to challenge Liverpool for the 4th Champions League spot. I would personally like to see another team than Liverpool in the CL because i'm personally getting sick of them at the moment.

Manchester United are on a run at the moment and hopefuly the training camp in Saudi Arabia will recharge their batteries for the final push to a another title this season and potentially another Treble. That would certainly be the icing on the cake.
