nvrI guess there are three fights going on at the moment. Title, 4th spot and avoiding being the last team to be relegated.
For the title, I would put my money on Chelsea. Their squad seems to hold together well at this stage of season. Arsenal and Manchester United will not be able to afford loss of key personnel.
City seem to have the upper hand in the race to 4th. Tottenham are starting to feel the pressure and they probably will not be able to cope well. I guess it will be Liverpool who will provide the competition.
Burnley need a miracle now and Pompey is already gone. The third team will probably be Hull. West Ham are playing well, albeit without results. If they get a win tomorrow, they'll finish the remaing games quite strong.
What do you guys think?

ZolaI don't see Liverpool snatching the fourth after the result against Birmingham today.

kabulblueI think that Chelsea are favourites for the title although there is still a long way to go with some difficult fixtures still out there.
Now that Arsenal and Man Utd are both out of the CL that means that all energies of the top three will be focused on the title.
With regards to fourth I think City and in the driving seat especially if they beat Utd this weekend. Tottenham have many tough games and Liverpool probably have a bit too much to do plus the distraction of the Europa League.
On the relegation battle I think that it is out of Hull, West Ham and Wigan with my money being on Hull to join Burnley and Portsmouth. Interestingly this year the second from bottom team are quite easily the worst team in the Premier League - that result against Man City was embarrassing...

FeriAtsLiverpool and Manchester United suffered major blows to their aspirations last weekend. We can declare Liverpool officially out of the race for top 4. Should United drop points against City next week, it will be over for them too.
The relegation situation is all on Wigan's hands, if they can snatch a win or two, it's over for both Hull and Burnley.

ZolaArsenal shot themselves in the foot, they usually won these type of games this season. They were streching beyond their strength, I'd say.
It's now a two horse race between Chelsea and ManU. Liverpool-Chelsea will be a deciding game. Given Torres is out injured, my money is on Chelsea.

FeriAtsAs an Arsenal fan I really didn't want Tottenham to win yesterday. But in fairness, they did deserve the 4th spot this season.
It would be interesting to watch how events will unfold now. Will they sell and buy even more? Or will the owner pull out?
