The Billionaires Battle was meant to be the day that Manchester City show that the billions invested by their Arabs owners were ready to overtake the roubles of Abrahamovic. A defeat would have meant a total surrender of their title but Chelsea played out of their skins to record a fourth consecutive win which heaps the pressure on United.
Dalglish´s feel-good factor is leading the club to a late resurgence but it could still be one that see them challenge Spurs for a fifth place spot. In a tremendous run since January, Liverpool could even harbour hopes for the final top 4 berth.
West Ham
Out of the bottom three for the first time this season and a battling draw against rivals Spurs continues their good form. They now look in good shape to beat the drop.
LOSERS
Spurs:
Redknapp has boasted all season that his side can win the league. They are now five points behind Chelsea and the Top 4 looks like a distant dream after their latest draw. Liverpool are just four points behind and they could struggle to even finish fifth.
The end of their title ambitions despite spending 200m in two seasons. They must be happy with a Champions League place now but is it all what their massive investment was supposed to get?
In free-fall ever since their fortunate Carling Cup win over Arsenal. Three consecutive defeats and just one point in their last four games mean that McLeish´s men need to refocus fast if they are to remain a Premiership club.
