If Chelsea beat Man Utd tomorrow they'll have a 9 point lead over the troubled club. Do you think Man Utd could pull that kind of gap back, it'll certainly take a good run of results

a draw would be ideal to me.

And i think it's gonna be hard if they want to get chelsea. They'll have to gamble on a Chelseacrisis..

As always it'll be Chelsea's to give away, if they get the win tomorrow all they're got to do is match or better Uniteds form for the rest of the season but can they do it......Untied have looked weak so far....

Chelsea look the strongest out of the top 4, but Arsenal and Liverpool are still there with them. I expect Chelsea to lose no more than 4 games this season, so the other teams must be very consistent to challenge.

It's still early days, dont get too exited. If the Utd machine starts rolling, things can change very quickly.

I agree junkie, Man Utd will eventually hit form and start hammering teams, but over the last few seasons the team who ended up Champions have dropped very few points, it's a very unforgiving league at the top.

Could you imagine Man Utd finishing 5th Ha! oh happy we'd be, happier still if they where 6th, as for 7th well......

I've already got a gut feeling for Chelsea this season. They look very strong and with the addition of Deco they have a lot of options in the middle. United have problems on & off the pitch at the moment which seems to be a little distracting.
