Slide of 12
Manchester United beating Chelsea at Old Trafford has sure got some tongues wagging, and obviously justifies their position as the favourites to win the league for the third season running.
For diehard United fans, the win finally gave shape to a title challenge, which has just gone through one of the most rigorous first halves ever seen by any team in the English leagues.
But having faced each team which finished from No. 2 to No. 10 last season away from home, the team from the “red side of Manchester” are bound to have an easier second leg than their closest rivals, Liverpool and Chelsea (though now that list may be cut to down to just Liverpool).
A lot of positives from the game last night, but the biggest would have to be the fact that winning the two games in hand against Wigan (on Wednesday) and Fulham will see United climb to the summit of the Barclay’s Premier League.
From that point on, even draws against the visiting Arsenal and Liverpool would suffice in United keeping clear of the pack, provided of course they see out the lesser teams in convincing fashion.
This will be a huge burden of Sir Alex Ferguson’s back, as the pressure is now squarely on Liverpool to win the game at Old Trafford (or pray the United lose to Wigan and/or Fulham!).
United fans, though, need not worry, as, in my opinion, the team has enough about it to secure the first position come May.
