League title: more than a two-horse race

Only a few games are left for the Premier League in England to come to a close this season.

Many say it’s a two-horse race between Man. United and Arsenal but others are contending that Chelsea and Man. City are still in it.

True, United and Arsenal appear to be the clear favourites. At the moment, it seems the Red Devils are enjoying an edge over the Gunners as Alex Ferguson’s team look more consistent that their rivals from London who dropped vital points in their last matches.

Chelsea and Manchester City are not too far behind though and they’re in it with a shout.

Both Arsenal and Chelsea have a game in hand on United and that could be useful in the title run-in.

This weekend the Premier League will be out of action since England play Wales at the Millennium Stadium in an European Championship qualifier. On Tuesday, Fabio Capello’s team face Ghana in a friendly international at Wembley Stadium.

Hereunder is the list of remaining fixtures that concern the top four contenders for the Premier League title this season.
