The Premier League looked like it was lining up to be one of the most exciting in awhile with all the “big-four” quite level and with Aston Villa threatening to enter the “big four”.
However, its now looking like United are going to make it a one-horse race with United 2 points clear of Liverpool and Chelsea and with a game in hand. If Chelsea and Liverpool draw at the weekend and United win it will extend even further.
United are hitting some form with Liverpool in particular playing poorly. Since Rafa’s rant Liverpool have not won – I think the last 3 goals they have drawn. Chelsea are also not playing very well either. Arsenal are out of the top 4 positions but if they keep Van Persie fit they could be back into the top 4.
Even with all the injuries, at one point about 11 first team players out, United have gone 11 games with conceding a goal. Its a record for Van Der Sar but I think a lot is actually down to the defense in-front of him. On average he has just 3 saves to make a game! Over the last 11 games, Vidic in particular has been brilliant and Evans has done well while Rio has been out injured. Against West Brom, United had some players back from injury so its getting better. Rio was back aswell as Park.
Over the last few weeks many players have been hitting great form. Giggs has rolled back the years and has been amazing. Also Berbatov has now scored 5 goals in 6 games!!
With the United players playing well and scoring, it has meant my fantasy football team has done well. About time after a few weeks of very poor scoring. My team was dropping like a stone in the mini-leagues!! This gameweek I scored 94 points – a lot of help with Ronaldo’s 28 points and Vidic’s 12 points.
