Manchester United or Chelsea?

This year, who is the team that is looking like they are going to win the premiership this year? Manchester United? or Chelsea? or even Arsenal? or possibly Liverpool? Who knows!

Just this past week, Manchester United was six points ahead of Chelsea and looked to extend their lead, but fell short in their 2 to 1 loss to Arsenal. As for Chelsea, it was not surprising to seem them loose 2 to 0 to Liverpool. Each of these top four teams have the potential to win the premiership this year. The team that will win will be the team that wants it the most; the team that works their behind of the most. So, what does Manchester United have to do to win the premiership?

Manchester United - Possesing one of the top offenses in the league, they are a tough team to beat. Having the second top goalscorer on the left wing - Cristiano Ronaldo- is the chalenge for every defense; can they stop him? NO! Although Manchester United has a strong offense, their defense is not as tough as let's say, Chelsea. With Ferdinand being their main back, they lack protection on the wings; the place where every offense wants to go so that they can cross the ball in. On the other hand, Manchester United's midfield is not the best, yet not the worst. For Manchester United to be able to continue to stay in first and win the premiership, they will need to continue to play they are as well as "weave together" more as a team. Thus, they will have higher potential than they have had in recent years.
