Who Wants To Win It?

With United losing yesterday, Chelsea dropping another two points (they are now without a win in four games in all competitions), Man City also dropping yet another two points (their eighth draw in nine Premier League games) and Tottenham losing, the only winners (in every sense of the word) yesterday were Aston Villa.

Today sees Liverpool take on Arsenal so at least one of them is going to drop points.

The Premier League Title seems to be crying out for one team – hopefully Manchester United – to go on a long winning run because everyone seems intent on shooting themselves in the foot at the moment.

Arsenal have been written off several times already this season but largely thanks to the inability of United and Chelsea to capitalise on their positions, find themselves heading to Liverpool today knowing that a win will put them into third place, just six points behind Chelsea and with a game in hand. If they win that game in hand then they could well overtake United into second place.

The race for the Champions League places is also showing just why the same four teams make the tournament year after year and whilst Liverpool should have been blown away by the likes of Tottenham and Manchester City yesterday, both of those teams dropped points and a win against Arsenal today will see them move up into fifth place and within touching distance of fourth or even third place.

I suppose it all goes to show just how competitive the Premier League is at the moment and the fact that we are not even halfway through the season but all the top teams have already lost between three and five games bears this out.

At this rate, the winner of the League could do so despite having suffered six or seven defeats which is almost unheard of.

So, I ask again, “Who wants to win it?”
