Over the weekend, Chelsea thrashed and humiliated Aston Villa 7-1 with F.Lampard scoring 4 of the goals. Aston Villa is never an easy opponent to play as they have shown their European credentials. However, Chelsea showed no mercy and Aston Villa was powerless to stop a Chelsea side playing on high gear. It was a perfect reaction from the previous week's draw with Blackburn. They thumped Portsmouth 5-0 and now 7-1 to Aston Villa, and if they can keep up their form for the remaining games, the title is definitely up for grabs.
Just when Arsenal are starting to pick up the pace for the title, they were halted as Kevin Phillips of Birmingham scored his 250th goal of his professional career to prevent Arsenal from taking all 3 points. Arsene Wenger wasn't happy about the tackle on Fabregas and his made his feelings known during the press conference.
"He got tackled at the knee, kicked just under the knee. We tried to take him off but he said he was all right. Am I suggesting there were a lot of bad tackles? Leave me alone with that, for f***'s sake.
"You are always looking for controversy, you do not need me to tell you what happened on the pitch. I can give you my opinion about our game but you always create this controversy." -Arsene Wenger
This result has dented Arsenal's push for a title but there are still chances for Arsenal to keep up if they keep up their form. Arsenal need to stop relying on Fabregas, once Fabregas was kicked, he wasn't the same player anymore with poor touches and poor passing throughout the game.
Arsenal still have a big game this week against Barcelona and they will have to be at their best if they want to compete against a very strong Barcelona side.
SO who will win this year's English Premier League... you will just have to wait and see...
Arsenal will be given a chance to catch up when the Devils meet the blues next week in a match that could decide which side is favored to win this year's Premier League. Can Manchester United stop rampant Chelsea? Or will the blues continue their goal scoring form?
Signing off

I personally think Chelsea has harder matches ahead and I agree with you on the point that Man U versus Chelsea game will basically decide the league winner.
