Chelsea Slowly Loses Edge

 

After this weekend's matches, several teams are now closing the gap in the table which Chelsea had gained in recent weeks.  The Blues suffered a tough loss to Aston Villa on Saturday which brings Liverpool and Arsenal within four points of the leaders, both teams also currently have a game in hand.  Manchester City is also within striking distance of the league title, only six points back, with three games in hand. 

EPL Title Race Heats Up

 

This weekend's Premier League matches could cause a serious change in the title race.  Out of form Arsenal fell 1-0 at Britannia Stadium on Saturday after Jonathan Walters converted a 76th minute penalty.  With both Liverpool and Chelsea winning this weekend, the race for first place is drastically heating up!

Close Race for La Liga Giants

 

Prior to last weekend's La Liga action Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid were all tied for first place in the top Spanish League.  Much to the good fortune of Real Madrid, two upsets resulted in Los Blancos taking the top of the table.  Now with the three biggest teams in Spain being separated by only three points, this weekend's Madrid Derby is sure to be at the center of this dramatic race.  Though Barcelona also plays this weekend, they play a bottom of the table team and a win should not be difficult for the Catalan side.
