Another new leader ... who will be Champions?

Another weekend has passed in the English Premier League, and another team have risen to top spot. Chelsea held the position for weeks, before Manchester United took command last weekend. But with United's game at Blackpool postponed, and Chelsea stuttering again at home against Everton, it is Arsenal who now sit in pole position.

This is the current situation with the top five
1st .. Arsenal - 32
2nd .. Manchester United 31
3rd .. Chelsea - 30
4th .. Manchester City - 29
5th .. Tottenham - 26
(Manchester United have played one less match)

The longer this uncertainty at the top continues, and the longer it remains so tight, Tottenham and Manchester City will become more and more realistic contenders. Before the season began, I thought they were both long shots. But had Spurs held on to win at Birmingham yesterday, the top five would have been separated by just one point to the next, four points between all five of them.

Despite their alarming loss of form, I'm still backing Chelsea to win the title. If they can turn things around, they are still the strongest side in the league. But failing that, Spurs and Man City really could cause an upset, and take the crown. Given the unpredictability of the league this year, it would be foolish to write anyone off.

PS ... Blackpool are on 19 points with a game in hand, worth a punt?

I think Arsenal could do it. But agree that the longer this confusion at the top carries on, Man City or Spurs could swoop and steal it! Is sure to be interesting!
