This is turning out into one of the intriguing title races in the Premier league after several years, as there are three different teams fighting for the title. Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal all head into the final 14 matches with a chance of the title, while teams as low as fifth can also think about the title.
Even though Liverpool are fourth in the table, they are just eight points behind the leaders. Considering the amount of points that the top teams have dropped this campaign, it is still feasible that Brendan Rodgers might find himself in the midst of a title fight.
This leads to Arsene Wenger believing that this year’s race will not be decided until the final day of the campaign. Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City have all dropped points in the last two matches, while these three teams are separated by just two points. Arsenal, though, will have to be wary of dropping any more points between now and the next few weeks. Unlike the other title rivals, they have a very tough fixture list over this period with matches against the likes of Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United.
Wenger, though, is unfazed by the run and he says that Arsenal will be taking every match as it comes.
“It is never as simple as everyone predicts it. I said a long time ago that nobody will be absolutely above (the others). It will be down to consistency. Chelsea looked always dangerous and Man City looked for me a bit jaded. They were not as fluent or as strong physically as they were at Tottenham but it could have gone to 1-1, it could have gone 2-0 for Chelsea. At the end of the day, they (City) had 65 per cent possession with 25 shots on goal so sometimes that can be a 1-1, but I must say Chelsea had opportunities for the 2-0,” Wenger told the arsenal transfer news website.
