Four Keys To Winning the English Premier League

Most likely to breeze in: Chelsea

Most likely to come from behind: Arsenal

Need to be already caught up: Man Utd

Need to be out of the Champions League or five points clear: Liverpool

Overall

So there you have it—who is your money on?

Personally I have fancied Chelsea for some time to win the league this season, but after reviewing the home form of the last five title winners, and their stuttering home start, now I am not so sure. They face a hellish away schedule still, and might have to win most of these games to win the league.

Liverpool will be happy that they are still in touch having faced some of their toughest away fixtures, I can see them lasting the pace, and if not in the Champions League, they really could go all the way. They are reliant on key players though, and if they face too many matches in the last couple of months they are likely to come unstuck.

Manchester United have stumbled through a bad fixture list to start the season with, and will feel pretty content with their position at the moment. From now until the end of February though they can hardly afford any slip-ups at all. If they are top at the end of March they will win the league, but I don't think they will be.

Arsenal have already slipped up too often, but they can have a massive say in where the title ends up, they play all of the big boys in the last two months of the season, and though they can't win the league themselves, they will take great pleasure in ruining the chances of any of their three rivals.

After all that, I haven't got a clue who is going to win the league! This year really is an open three-horse race in my opinion.
