This season title race is not that simple.As,i said before this is the most intriguing title race ever this week turned out another intriguing one.As,liverpool looking almost set to lift the title after 24 long years needing just 7 seven points from their last 3 matches.it means a draw & two wins would have done it for the reds.But,if it would have been so easy then why this season would have become the most intriguing,Remainning true to it's nature another interesting turnaround happened on sunday afternoon that just opened up the title race once again.Now,the title is not in liverpool's hands.They have to win their remainning two games & hope mancity lose or draw atleast one game out of their remainning 3 games.Only this possibility can give liverpool the title they have waiting for so long.otherwise,city are looking the clear favourites as of now.I,s because if city win s their remaining 3 games they will level in terms of points with reds but they have a much better goal difference with a 8 goal advantage over liverpool.Remaining fixtures of city have only one tough game & that's against another merseysider everton at goodison park.liverpool can only now hope that everton defeats city or draws with them as they did last year at etihad.if they can do that then liverpool can think of the title otherwise it's all over for the reds.And,another scintillating year will go without the league title & the wait will still continue.On,sunday more than the defeat the way reds got defeated was disheartening.They looked the better side but still they lost.it was an masterfully planned tactics from the special one & the master tactician of all times whose defensive tactics & attack on the counter kept the liverpool strikers at bay & they failed to score in the first half for the first tim e since the start of the year.
They got the possession more,created more chances & got more shots on target but unfortunately they were unable to break the chelsea defense.But, the most uinfortunate incident occured in the first half xtra time in which a gerrard slip-up gave the ball to Demba ba who just drove the ball past mignolet to give chelsea the lead.
And,then it was all chelsea defense in the 2nd half.liverpool created again the maximum chances & even brought two more strikers on the field aspas & sturridge but that was also not enough to break the chelsea defensive wall & in hurry of scoring a goal sturridge gave away the ball to willian who they coolly scored the 2nd goal for chelsea & again brought them back into the title race.although they arte not the favourites right now but one or slip-ups can happen from liverpool & mancity & who knows they may be crowned the champions of england.This season has been the season of surprises & who knows another surprise might be waiting for us in the next week.
Now,let's turn our attention to the bottom of the table.Finally.sunderland are out of the relegation zone & they deserved that.with the kind of performance they have given in the last one week ,they deserved to stay in the league next year.on sunday they won 4-0 against another relegation threatened cardiff city at stadium of lights & send packing norwich city into the bottom three.who now set to ousted from the league next year with performance not showing any improvement even with their new manager neil adams.fulham drew their match on saturday but they still need to win their remainnin g games to come out of the relegation.cardiff & norwich chances looking bleak now.they need some starling performances to save themshelves from relegation zone.
So,lets see what happens next week with some interesting clashes coming up which might decide the fate of the title.The most important of them all will be the match between everton & mancity.everton will be playing for their champions league spot & city will be playing for the title.if they defeat everton then i think it will be the end of liverpool & city will become the clear favourites.while,everton sinc they sensed the chance of going into the champions league they have may be bogged down under pressure & have given some below apr perforamnces as evident from their performance against southampton.
But,we just hope they play better again st city & defeat them to give liverpool, the title because they are team of the season & they deserve the title.
