Why Wayne Rooney and Manchester United will Win the Premier League Again

In one of the most crazy Premier League seasons in recent memory, in which the top clubs are losing to mid-table and relegation-bound clubs, the top spot has been up for grabs for months between Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal.

And now as we enter the final two months of the season, there is higher tension and more and more people wondering which of the big three will win it.

On Sunday we had two results that could ultimately decide the champion.

The first major match was at Old Trafford as Manchester United beat rival Liverpool 2-1, thanks to a goal in the 60th minute by Ji-Sung Park off a header to give United a much-needed win.

Meanwhile at Ewood Park, Blackburn Rovers were able to stun Chelsea, as a goal in the 70th minute by El-Hadjl Diouf resulted in a 1-1 draw.

Despite Arsenal's 2-0 win over West Ham, Manchester United have now opened up a two-point lead over the Gunners and a four-point lead on Chelsea, despite the fact that Chelsea have a game in hand.

And of course with the big match with Chelsea at Old Trafford just 12 days away, United know that a win at Old Trafford would all but secure a record 12th Premier League title, and a record 19th league title for the Red Devils.

On paper, Manchester United have the capability to win, and it helps to have the hottest player on the planet, Wayne Rooney, starting and scoring every game.

Of course, Man United have won the Premier League for the last three seasons, and they have arguably the greatest manager of all time in Sir Alex Ferguson with them every game.

United have two major fixtures besides the Chelsea one coming up: April 17 at Eastlands against Manchester City and a home match on April 25 against Tottenham Hotspur.

For Chelsea, they have three major fixtures coming up besides their visit to Old Trafford on April 3: at home to Aston Villa on March 27, at White Hart Lane against Spurs on April 17, and a visit to Anfield on May 1.

And for Arsenal, they have the easiest remaining fixtures on their list, as the toughest are at White Hart Lane against Spurs on April 10 and at home against Manchester City on April 24.

The only potential blip that could halter Man United from winning the Premier League is a loss to Chelsea at Old Trafford, but United have not lost to Chelsea at Old Trafford since a 3-1 loss on May 10, 2005.

With the final quarter of the season about to begin, this is the time of year when Manchester United thrive, and I do not see anyone or anything stopping the Red Devils from winning their fourth consecutive Premier League.
