After Chelsea's win over Newcastle United, the Premier league crown is going down to the last day. It has been a long time since we have seen this happen. The last close title race was when Manchester United pipped Arsenal to the title on the last day of the season 98/99 by 1 point. It was a tense game as United went behind to visitors Tottenham, with United needing a win to secure the first part of their treble. United ending up winning the game and the league.
Many will say that the league is in United's hand, and it is true. Not only do they have a superior goal difference, they are against Wigan, who have old United boy Steve Bruce as their manager. A lot of pressure is being put on Bruce as he is being drawn into the mind games ahead of the crucial weekend. With Wigan securing Premier league status next season by beating Aston Villa away, the game against United will mean nothing to them as the have nothing to play for. Meanwhile Chelsea will know a nothing but a win will give them the slimest chance of being crowned champions.
But with the odds and the managers stacked against them, it looks like Manchester United are on course for their 10th league title.
