    So who's gonna win it?

    1 point seperates the top 3 with city (3rd) having the supperior gk.

    Then spurs (4points) and Man U (6points) behind city.

    Can Spurs or Utd catch up?
    Can Arsenal hold on?
    What of Leicester?

    Where would your money go?

    I really hope Leicester can do it but I think it will be the Arse or City.

    I think city have way too much for anyone. Arsenal are good but I don't rate their defence, As the season goes on I think City will get stronger. Spurs, Man Utd just don't have the squads for the top spot imho. Would love Leicester to win it, but top 6 will be a great result for them

    I also hope Leicester, but gut feeling says City.

    City for me. Like Billy, I would love to see Leicester do it but I don't think they have the strength and depth and I think Man City's squad is a tad stronger than that of Arsenals.

    City, they have the strongest squad by a mile so for me they're gonna win it. They've started to play well without Kompany as well and that's always been the key to consistency for them. Aguero needs to be fit as well, but they have goals in the team without him, I just think with him they'll be far more likely winners.

    I reckon Leicester will fall away, Mahrez has started to show signs of fatigue and Vardy isn't getting a goal per game anymore. They should have strolled to victory against Villa but they made a mess of it. I still think they could finish in a CL place though.

    Spurs are a good side, I expect them to finish 3rd this season.

    United are too unpredictable to make any end of season predictions for me.

    Went for Arsenal start of season and see no reason to change.

    Ozil coming back soon will be massive for them.

    Edit: And Sanchez is back next game.

    Same here, would love Leicester win it just to upset the so called 'top four', but think City will have too much in the end, it's a great season with things wide open top and bottom, the pundits say the Six teams below Chelsea will settle the bottom three but I haven't seen a lot since Hiddink took over to suggest Chelsea are not in the relegation scrap, their manager even says,they are not out of it, have a funny feeling that the team to drop into it from nowhere Will be Watford, there's always one every season, can see this season going to the wire at both ends of the league.

    I think City's title hopes rest on the return of Kompany. They're just not the same without him.

    I can't see Watford collapsing. They're on 29 points already and have goals in them. Just 7 or 8 points and they'll be fine.

    For me Swansea are the unexpected team. They've just done a Sbragia, and I think they're in the ****!

    Swansea look like the worst team in the league at the minute, they don't seem to have a plan b if sideways passing doesn't work... a bit like us.

    Watford will be fine, they've got goals in them and enough winnable fixtures left. Palace are the ones I'd worry for if I cared at all, they're on the slide and Pardew looks like his head's gone again. They've probably done enough this season though... Adebayor would be an awful buy for team spirit reasons I'd say.

    He's not wrong, the trouble is we'd need Fergie back to win it.

    Spurs fan's love that line 'Push on next season', it's your equivalent to Liverpool's 'next year is our year'.

    Blunham....hear what your saying and agree 're Swansea although they are supposed to be bringing in a manager to work with Curtis, have to see how that pans out. I just think that Watford have been playing above everybody's expectations so far and as we know it is a long season, I get these feelings now and again and just think there could be a surprise there, we will have to wait and see.
