The Premier League's Final Battles!

Ronaldo and Rooney celebrate goalTitle Race
After their victories in the SkySports-billed Grand Slam Sunday, Man United and Chelsea once again battle it out for the title with United in the driving seat.

And with six games to go Ronaldo & co look unstoppable but still have the small matters of hosting Wenger's young Gunners and a visit to Stamford Bridge to contend with before they can put both hands on the trophy.

After showing real character to record their first Premier League win in Bolton for six years, Arsenal, only six points off the top, will feel it's still a three-horse race. The stats say different - no team has ever gone on to win the Premier League from outside of the top two at this stage of the season.

This week begins a make or break week for the Arsenal as they face Liverpool three times in seven days before being treated with a trip to Old Trafford.

Where the title can be won or lost...

Man Utd vs Arsenal, 13 April
Chelsea vs Man United, 26 April

 


Torres and Gerrard celebrate goalFourth Champions League Spot
Liverpool's Torres inspired Merseyside derby triumph last weekend might just have given the red side of the Mersey the edge they needed to secure the fourth spot.

Benitez has warned his players that their five-point cushion going into the final six-games is by no means job done and rightly so, as Liverpool still face difficult ties with fellow Big Four compatriots Arsenal and Chelsea.

However with Everton also facing the same Big Four opponents minus Aussie goal contributor Tim Cahill - out for the rest of the season - it's likely we'll see Rafa shifting his focus to Europe.

 

Everton will also have to keep one eye on Portmouth for fifth place and that UEFA Cup spot. 


Roy Hodgson FulhamRelegation
Becoming the first team in Premier League history to be relegated in March was not the only mark Derby made this past weekend. The Premier League's ‘worst ever' contenders also dented fellow strugglers Fulham's survival hopes.

And with no less than seven six-pointers still to go there's a lot of points to play for in this relegation dog-fight.

Not included are King Kev's Toon Army who after two back-to-back wins look like they are marching again.

Upcoming six-pointers...
Fulham vs Sunderland, 5 April
Wigan vs Birmingham, 5 April
Reading vs Fulham, 12 April
Sunderland vs Middlesboro, 26 April
Wigan vs Reading, 26 April
Bolton vs Sunderland, 3 May
Fulham vs Birmingham, 3 May
