A dramatic and well deserved victory against West Ham last week moved Liverpool onto third in the league standings. Rafael Benitez’s side are three points off Manchester United in second and six points off the leaders Chelsea.
Still, the chase for the domestic title is on although Pepe Reina confessed a while ago that Liverpool were not confident of piping everyone at the top come May.
Anyway, before every match day, Rafael Benitez eyes nothing else but a victory.
Last season, the Reds were inches away from claiming the English Premier League trophy for the first time since almost two decades. However, dropped points against lower teams especially cost them a lot.
The Blues are on fire and ready to race until the end to clinch the English Premier League title away from their rivals, Manchester United.
It is still too early to draw any conclusions from the fate of both Chelsea and Tottenham. Well, as at now, the Blues have the upper hand in terms of the league standings.
Chelsea defend a 100% record that could have been something else if Drogba and Malouda had not found injury-time winners against Hull City and Stoke respectively.
So far, the dream is well alive for Chelsea’s new boss Carlo Ancelotti.
This much-anticipated fixture will test Manchester City’s capability in the race for the EPL title against Manchester United’s potential and Ferguson’s experience.
