It is about to go down in the Premier League. After the posturing, points gathering and wins, the Big Two in the league, Liverpool and Manchester City will clash.
While the Reds have not wavered from last season’s standards, the Cityzens have struggled to keep up with the unrelenting standards they have set over the last three seasons.
Both teams alongside Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea were in action in the UEFA Champions League in midweek with all 4 sides getting creditable results.
Under Frank Lampard, Chelsea is looking the most likely of the other teams in the Big 6 to get into the UCL next season.
Sheffield United has continued to surprise everyone with their adaptation to the Premier League. The Blades have matched all their opponents this season including some of the big boys.
The same cannot be said of Norwich City which has tailed off badly after a promising start. The Canaries look the likeliest of all the promoted teams to be relegated back to the Championship.
