the fascinating race for the Premier League title of his Season will end this weekend with an exciting Final that will allow three teams to compete for the top prize in English football. There have been a lot of twists and turns, twists and, more recently, tears in recent weeks, as Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea have often exchanged positions at the top of the standings.
However, the events of the last few days mean that City are firmly in Pole Position to become champions on Sunday.
Below, we evaluate the chances and references of the three teams still in the running for the most beautiful trophy In England.
City of Man
The title pendulum has been swinging frantically from London to Manchester to Merseyside, but now it seems to be sticking to the latter after the recent collapse of Liverpool. A little over a week ago, the Reds seemed to have sown everything after beating City, who then lost points to Sunderland, Chelsea then lost to the Black Cats.
Since then, however, the citizens have bounced back with three consecutive wins, while the Reds have finished themselves after a defeat to Chelsea and a disastrous collapse against Crystal Palace.
This now puts Manuel Pellegrini’s men in Pole Position to win their second title in three seasons, which can be achieved with consecutive home wins against Aston Villa and West Ham in the last two games. City have already won the Capital One Cup and what a Season it would be if they regained the title.
Marseille, France
As mentioned above, Liverpool were on track to finish 24 years with injuries and win their first title since 1990. However, they imploded last week, putting aside their hopes of winning the title.
The Reds may have the most feared strike in the league, but they are often left without hope, as was the matter against Palace when they lost a three-goal lead with only 11 minutes to play, which means they had to settle for a point.
Liverpool may have blown it away in most people’s eyes, but the unpredictable and dramatic nature of the Premier League this Season means anything is still possible.
In all likelihood, City will finish the title with a maximum score against Villa or West Ham. However, with the pressure now firmly on their shoulders, there is always the possibility of a sling that could come in the form of a defeat to Villa on Wednesday that would incredibly throw the ball to Liverpool.
Chelsea
Despite the home game against Norwich last weekend, Chelsea are remarkably not always out of the race, although their very low hopes of winning the title are reflected in their extremely high odds of 200/1.
If City win on Wednesday, the Blues will no longer be in the race, but if Villa get a result, it means that the title race will remain a three-horse race until the last day.
If that is the matter, Jose Mourinho’s men should beat Cardiff, because they hope that City and Liverpool will lose their last games against Newcastle and West Ham. Of course, this is extremely unlikely, but given the nature of the last few weeks, nothing is excluded.
