Man Utd, Chelsea or Arsenal?
The 2007/2008 Barclays Premier League has provided one of the hottest title races in years.
Tightly fought between Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, and on the odd occasion, Liverpool too, the season has been largely neck and neck between the top four. Now, as the season draws to a close, only five fixtures remain for each team to battle to get their hands on the Barclays Premier League title.
On May 11th, some 38 games later, one team will be crowned as champions, but who will it be? Some might argue that Man United's scintillating form will see them through, despite the draw against Borough in yesterdays thrilling encounter.
However, with United having to still play Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham (who always somehow prove tricky), the title is undoubtedly still up for grabs.
In the table below, we've listed the last five fixtures for each of the three would-be champions. With matches still to be played against one another, and tricky away fixtures in plentiful supply, this could be a year when it goes right down to the wire.
