Can Chelsea continue their fight for third place?

There are two very important games today but only one that grips the attention of many. A clash of the titans and a less interesting mid-table clash as Liverpool take on Everton at Anfield. Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham fans will all be glued to their screens as Chelsea take on Man United for the fifth time this season.

The blues have recently run into good form under interim Manager Benitez, having only lost 1, won 3 and drew 1 of their last 5 fixtures. In their 5 meetings, Chelsea certainly has the upper hand against United as they are responsible for their FA Cup and League Cup crashes. These two clubs always provide an all-out attacking game of football which is more often than not full of goals. While both teams are somewhat defensively sound, more-so Chelsea than United. Taking into account the dynamic of the midfield players of both teams and the physical nature of some, as exciting as the game is set to be, the ref has to keep it contained as much as he can.

Manchester’s Draw against Arsenal put a hold on their attempts to beat the record for having the most points in the BPL currently sitting at 95, which coincidently is held by their opponents for the day. However that will not cause them to take it easy today at all as they do have a score to settle with the men in blue and, if they can beat their own record of 92 points it would be worth it to them. Chelsea at the moment are fighting for that top four sport for the chance to give Champions League another go. A win for them would mean they jump to third place and Arsenal drop to fourth, and a win for United would simply be a step forward in attempts to break a personal record.

Whichever team, you will be supporting today, make sure that you cut your nails before the game and you sit on a bean bag or as close to the floor as possible or you will chew on those nails and the edge of your seat will turn into flat on the floor.
