After Chelsea's big win over Man United, the two clubs are level on points with two games to go. Man United's superior goal difference means the Red Devils will win the title if they can win their last two matches. But if they draw or lose one of the two games, it opens the door for Chelsea. Arsenal clinched third place with their drubbing of Derby County today, while Liverpool are assured of fourth place. Here is the complete Premiership table:
Rank - Club - Games P - GD - PTS
1 Man Utd 36 53 81
2 Chelsea 36 37 81
3 Arsenal 36 41 77
4 Liverpool 36 36 70
5 Everton 36 21 62
6 Aston Villa 36 22 59
7 Portsmouth 36 11 57
8 Blackburn 36 3 55
9 Man City 36 0 55
10 West Ham 36 -5 48
11 Tottenham 36 6 43
12 Newcastle 36 -16 43
13 Sunderland 36 -20 39
14 Wigan 36 -17 37
15 Middlesbrough 36 -19 36
16 Bolton 36 -20 33
17 Reading 36 -28 33
18 Birmingham 36 -17 32
19 Fulham 36 -25 30
20 Derby 36 -63 11
Derby County have long since been relegated as one of the worst clubs ever in the Premiership. Fulham are just barely clinging to life in the top flight, while Birmingham, Reading, and Bolton are still in danger of relegation. Sunderland are safe, and I think Middlesbrough and Wigan will avoid the drop, but their safety is not yet mathematically assured.
