Anything can happen that’s for sure, but I personally feel that as things stand right now, 1 result will swing it any of 3 ways. I have done a little research over the past couple of seasons and one thing stands out. Arsenal are the best finishers when you look at the final 6 games in 06 and 07. Also Chelsea will definately drop points in more than 1 game. So consider how important tonights game is for United if you look at their history under Fergie. With a 5 point lead and the way they are playing he will back his team to beat both Arsenal and Chelsea, so if United loose to Roma he will rest 80% of his 1st team for the weekend trip to Boro. History proves this. Last season United lost 2-1 to Roma, Fergie rested almost the entire squad, they lost that weekend 2-1 to Portsmouth and then trounced Roma 7-1. So I have feeling that come the end weekend of the 12th and 13th there could be 1 point between the top 3.
My prediction for the run in is based on a couple of IF’s. If United loose tonight, if Arsenal beat Liverpool in the league on the weekend, then Arsenal will win the league. United will rest the first team and scrape a draw against Boro. Arsenal will beat United the following weekend. United and Chelsea will draw. Arsenal will win the league by 2 points.
