A crucial period


As I see things, we are now entering the most crucial period of the season. The players are in great conditions, the Champions League is back and the FA and Carling Cups are getting to the crucial stages.
This month will supply us with the answers whether Arsenal is to remain a title contender, alongside with Chelsea and Man Utd, can Liverpool fight back for 4th place, battling Aston Villa, Manchester City and Tottenham to it, and also - which teams will run safe and which ones will fight against relegation, as only 4 points separate the 5 last teams in the table (excluding Portsmouth).

Well, this weekend will get us closer to the answers. Chelsea host Arsenal for a crucial match on Sunday – a win for the blues and Arsenal can forget about the title race. A day before that will see Liverpool host Everton in the Merseyside derby, and their level of performance they showed last week, in their unconvincing win over Bolton, won't be enough. Liverpool must win and perform well if they want to play Champions League football the next season. In two other matches, Burnley host West Ham and Sunderland host Wigan and these teams need the points to start their escape from the relegation zone.
