From the table you can see that Arsenal is currently in fifth place overtaking Aston Villa,Everton and Reading.Personally I think next week Premiership match is even more critical. Why,Manchester United is going to face their classic one of their greatest opponent,Liverpool which only managed to get a pointat home against Blackburn Rovers and Reds will need to beat the Devils in order to keep a hope to win this season’s Premiership.Of course we don’t want his to happen,but I want Liverpool to win this match.Why?because Arsenal is going to benefit from Liverpool’a victory against Manchester United.Chelsea on the other hand will be worry to lose their main goalkeeper Petr Cech after he injured his skull(if not mistaken) and they will going to face the 2005-06 UEFA Champions League champion(it should be Arsenal but Arsenal cannot defend for even 15 minutes.).Furthermore,they will also face Pompey(Portsmouth) which seems to have great form this season.Fortunately,they are fighting at home.I hope Chelsea can draw Portsmouth.A draw means both teams,Blues as well as Pompey will going to drop points.
If Portsmouth can manage to draw with Chelsea and Liverpool can beat the Devils,Arsenal will be leading the Premiership if Gunners can win Reading and their one match in hand.One more,if Blackburn can draw with Bolton it will be extremely great for Arsenal.
