The premier league is slowly taking shape to a predictable two horse race between the two Manchester Clubs (United and City). I don’t know if I have spoken too early (it’s been only 18 games) into the season but the other three teams coincidentally from London (Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham) don’t look keen on fighting for the premier league title. Tottenham can be exempt from this group since they won their game against Norwich to garner 38 points from 17 games. This means they have a game in hand and can move to within four points of league leaders Manchester City.

| Wolves keeper Wayne Hennessey makes yet another save |
Manchester United was the only team at the top end of the table to have a real boxing day. They moved level on points with Man City after thrashing a miserable Wigan 5 – 0 with Dimitar Berbatov scoring a hat-trick. Manchester City had a goalless draw with West Brom. Arsenal drew with Wolves at the Emirates in a game that they were in total control. Wolves keeper Wayne Hennessey rose up to the occasion time and time again to deny Arsenal the three points they desperately needed to reap flog Chelsea to fourth place after the Blues had drawn with Fulham on boxing day. Liverpool had a one all draw with lowly placed Blackburn Rovers.
Premier League results
- Bolton 0-2 Newcastle
- Chelsea 1-1 Fulham
- Liverpool 1-1 Blackburn
- Man Utd 5-0 Wigan
- Stoke 0-0 Aston Villa
- Sunderland 1-1 Everton
- West Brom 0-0 Man City
All we can do is hope that the London teams will redeem themselves in the upcoming matches starting today 30th December 2011 otherwise; the title will surely remain in Manchester.
