Arsenal now Out of Title Race

After today's fixtures, some races have seemingly been decided, whereas others have opened up further to make this this EPL ride all the more interesting!

ManCity fail to capitalize on the Spurs' loss to ManU, by reaching a stalemate against Arsenal at the Emirates. Arsenal is now mathematically out of the title race, as they can reach a maximum of 78 points if they win their last two games. ManU is on 79 with two games left, Chelsea on 77 with 3 games left. Chelsea host Stoke tomorrow in a bid to regain the slender lead at the top of the table. ManCity is on 5th still,1 point behind the Spurs, and 2 points ahead of Aston Villa. Liverpool are 7th, with a maximum point haul seeing them reach 68 points by the end of season - and whether this will be enough for them to get a Champions League spot, only time will tell. Although it looks like the odds are heavily against them, with Tottenham only needing to get 4 points from their next three games to reach 68 and push the Kop out of the race mathematically. But as the maxim goes, it ain't over till it's over.

In other games, Bolton Wanderers drew to the already-relegated Pompey, Wolves drew with Blackburn, West Ham boosted their Premier League return chances with a vital 3-2 win against the inconsistent Wigan. Hull City remain six points away from safety after their loss to Sunderland 0-1.

Oh and to those who have been living under a rock, Wayne Rooney is now officially out for the rest of the season, and so is Fernando Torres.

The table looks like this now:
