So who will win the title? Man Utd or Chelsea?
Who will get relegated? Bolton? Fulham? Birmingham or Reading?
Man Utd are still favourites to retain their title with only a victory at Wigan and the title stays at Old Trafford for at least another year. Its out of Chelsea’s hands and all they can hope for is United to slip up. Wigan did pull of a surprise at Stamford Bridge last month with a precious point which has helped them crawl out of the relegation zone, a repeat of the same will be a much appreciated from the West Londoners.
Down the other end, its between 4 teams, although Bolton looks to be safe after their home win over Sunderland on Saturday. They have a better goal difference than Reading and Birmingham the 2 teams who can effective catch them. Bolton face Chelsea in the final game, with Chelsea needing the points, all Bolton must make sure is that they dont get trashed.
Birmingham can effectively still survive with a draw if both Reading and Fulhma lost due to their superior goal difference, however if both Reading and Fulham win then Birmingham will be relegated.
Its also likely that Reading will be related if Fulham win at Portsmouth due to a better goal difference.









Manchester United narrowly beat Spurs 1-0 at Old Trafford and all the talk on this game will be about the penalty which wasn’t given and also the wonder strike by Nani. It was a great goal from Nani, all of 30 yards which beat Paul Robinson but before the goal Spurs in my opinion should have been awarded a penalty, but as we know you just don’t get penalties at Old Trafford. The last penalty given to an away team at Old Trafford was to Bolton a few years back and that was when Manchester United were 3-0 up.
This week must be remembered for the refereeing deciions which cost both Liverpool and Fulham vital points. Rob Styles made an incredible decision to award Chelsea a penalty which Frank Lampard converted to level the match at 1-1. Steve Finnan was judged to have made contact with Malouda but in fact it was the Frenchman who went into Finnan after attempting to dunny the ball through Didier Drogba. The decison shocked the whole of Anfield including the Chelsea players. Since then Styles have been removed from the next lot of fixtures and have also admitted in making a mistake which could have changed the outcome of a very important game.
The first week of the Premiership has been completed and plenty has gone on.
Liverpool have unveiled pictures of their new stadium which they plan to move into in 2010.
