So we have three teams within three points of each other at the top of the Premier League, and the bookies are undecided as to who is going in it. Chelsea (61 points) and Man Utd (60 points) are impossible to split at 6/4, while Arsenal (58 points) are a little bit bigger on 11/4. Exciting stuff, eh? And, here’s the thing: it’s going to get a lot more exciting because the outsider is going to rip right through the field and win.
That was one hell of a game between Arsenal and Liverpool on Wednesday night, and one that re-instilled a little bit of faith in the present custodians of the great game.
It was a game played at a fast, but controlled, pace with very little let-up – particularly in an engaging second half.
But what struck me most about the game was how it was played with a true Corinthian spirit, which is highly commendable given the average age of both these young teams.
