A tight competition


8 matches to go till the end of the Premier League season and things at the top of the table are still unclear. Just as it seemed that we’re heading to a Manchester United – Chelsea battle all over again, Arsenal came from behind, grabbed a couple of wins and took advantage of both United and Chelsea slip-ups to form one of the tightest championship fights we had in recent years.
It would be very interesting to see how Chelsea handle the unexpected elimination from the Champions League at such an early stage. This shocking home defeat to Inter Milan can cause a sort of a turmoil Chelsea can find themselves on the losing end of a couple of matches, resulting in forfeiting the title. This weekend is a huge test for Carlo Ancelotti’s lads.

While Arsenal has a relatively easy home match against West-Ham united (even though the mini London derby is never too easy), Chelsea plays against Blackburn in Ewood Park in a tough match. 71% of BetUknow's members predict Chelsea as winners. Nevertheless, the most interesting game of the week sees Manchester United host Liverpool. Man Utd are on a great run (well…actually Rooney is in a great form, and that's enough), while Liverpool cannot manage to win more than 2 matches in a row, falling one point behind the fourth Champions League spot. The majority of BetUknow members predict that Manchester United will win the match, and, quite frankly, this looks reasonable.
