Well, the EPL is drawing closer and closer to an end now with about 70% of all games played by the end of tomorrow. The race for the title is wide open with Chelsea holding on to a slender 2 point advantage over Man Utd. Arsenal lie in 3rd, a good 9 points behind Chelsea and widely thought to be OUT of the title race. However, tomorrow's results will paint a clearer portrait of Arsenal's fate.

Surprisingly, Liverpool have found themselves BACK in the top 4 with 44 points. They can thank Tottenham, Aston Villa and Man City for slipping up. However, let's give Liverpool some credit as well, they have been playing well as of late and are on a 2 game winning streak. Even still, Liverpool are not safe at all as they only have a 1 point cushion. Tottenham are right behind them with 43 points in 5th place and Man City and Aston Villa are on their heels with 41 points each.

A lot of that can shift around depending on the results of tomorrow's match ups. So let's take a look at what we got on the plate:

Arsenal vs Liverpool - I kinda feel sorry for Arsenal. They have so much potential year after year but can't seem to do enough. The loss of Van Persie has hurt this team drastically. They really don't have a true striker. Not only that but they've been dealt a rough stretch of games in a row: @Aston Villa(draw), vsMan Utd(loss), @Chelsea(loss) and now they host an on form Liverpool. This is a crucial match for both teams. Arsenal need a victory to give themselves a glimmer of hope for the title, and Liverpool need some sort of points to stay in the top 4 hunt. We definitely have the ingredients of an exciting match.

prediction: Arsenal 2; Liverpool 1

Aston Villa vs Manchester United - Ideally, Aston Villa would love to come away with all 3 points here at home. Ideally, I'd love to bang Adriana Lima. Fact of the matter is, both me and Villa will have a hard time accomplishing that. However, IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE!!! Villa are capable of beating Utd, only problem is Utd are in spectacular form. They are fresh off bulldozing Portsmouth 5-0, and before that took care of Arsenal 3-1. Wayne Rooney seems unstoppable right now and you can pretty much put money on him scoring at least 1 goal every game. This should be a great game to watch.

Prediction: Aston Villa 1; Man Utd 2

Everton vs Chelsea - These guys always seem to put on a show whenever they face each other. Earlier in the season they gave us an exciting 6 goal thriller that ended in a 3-3 draw. Chelsea cannot get complacent, they need to keep their foot on the petal and make sure that they keep their distance from Man Utd. In order to do that, they need to keep winning. They cannot sacrifice any points because you have to assume that Man Utd are gonna continue to win their games. Everton are fresh off a loss against Liverpool and Chelsea need to provide the knock out blow here.

Prediction: Everton 1; Chelsea 3

other meaningful match up: Tottenham vs Wolverhampton - Tottenham should win this easily 4-1. Man City are playing Bolton as we speak and are winning 1-0.
