Champions: Manchester United

Title Race

'The Big 4' Battle it Out

Just 8 points separate the 'Big 4' in what is set to be one of the closes races yet to land the Premier League Crown. Chelsea and Liverpool are split by goal difference with Arsenal 6 points behind and Champions Manchester United in 4th.

Having now collected just 1 point from 9 against their rivals, United have ground to catch up, and will look to their game in hand to reduce the deficit. The Red Devil's know that a repeat of last years home form, which saw them win all but 2 of their games, will be important with all of their rivals to visit Old Trafford. An improvement on his sides away form, with just 2 wins from 6, is a must for Sir Alex Ferguson's men.

Arsenal, where in meltdown prior to their victory over United. With recent poor performances coupled with Manager Arsene Wenger's lack of trophies in the last 3 years, many where righting the Gunners out of this season's title race. However 3 points on Saturday, they move closer to the top and look forward to a trip to Stamford Bridge at the end of the month.

Benitez aims for Liverpool's first title in 18 years

Chelsea have set the bench mark so far this season and have started with a enviable away record with 6 wins from 6. In Manager Luiz Felipe Scolari's first season in the Premier League, he hopes to aim to take Chelsea back to the top, with the Blues finishing 2 points from top spot last season.

Liverpool are the only one of the 'Big 4' never to have won the Premier League and have not finished in the top two in 6 years. However the Reds have already defeated Manchester United and Chelsea this season and with the likes of Robbie Keane, Albert Riera and Andrea Dossena added to the squad, this may well be Liverpool's strongest squad under Rafael Benitez.

All these sides have a fierce rivalry, not just domestically but on a European front as all but Manchester United fell at the hands of another Premier League side in last seasons Champions League. With the seasons title race between 4 close teams, home form and injuries will play a key part to each teams challenge.
