Exciting Relegation Fight

Chelsea again missed the opportunity to go the top. They drew 0-0 with Everton. Chelsea played with 10 men for 55 minutes as their captain Terry was shown red card. Chelsea for the first time dropped points in an away match this season. Liverpool maintains their slender lead over Chelsea. They are now going for Boxing Day match as league leaders. Liverpool played 1-1 draw with Arsenal at emirates. Manchester United who won the World club championship will be most benefited team with the above results. They are now 7 points behind the leader Liverpool with 2 matches in hand.

The most intriguing fight this year will be the relegation fight. It is very difficult to say who will go down at this stage. Hull who is in the sixth position with 27 points is just 9 points away from the relegation zone. West Bromwich Albion is at the bottom with 15 points 1 point behind Blackburn Rovers. The two rounds in the Christmas time will determine who is going to down. Manchester City with 18 points is the third team in the danger zone. But I believe they will come out of this. Stroke who is lying fifteenth with 20 points will be the team most likely to be in the danger zone.

Will Liverpool able to maintain the lead in the half way stage or not we have to wait and see.
