Premier League Run home: In brief

7 Rounds to go and the deep end of the season now begins, but there's still enough intrigue at the top and as always the bottom of the table to keep fans interested, here we sum up very briefly each premier league teams chances

1.Manchester United (76pts)

Sir Alex has done it again, 5 points ahead of the Manchester neighbours, everything has came together nicely.  Just need to keep doing what they've done so far, winning against every team that comes up against them, the defence even minus Vidic is holding up well and De Gea is looking better by the week.  Besides Man City the only teams that could cause trouble for Man United are Sunderland away and possibly Everton. The title looks all but assured now however.

2. Manchester City (71)

Need to rely on Manchester United dropping games, and not just the blockbuster at the Etihad.  That's also assuming all the remaining games are won which is no foregone conclusion with the on-fire Arsenal at the Emirates.  Going to really regret the dropped points against Stoke city, Sunderland and Swansea the three big 'S''s.  Need Aguero back and Silva to rediscover his old form because City are in a lull which will more than likely cost them the title.

3.Arsenal (58)

Need to shore up 3rd place to once again travel to Europe.  As much as people rave about Ferguson from less resources what Wenger does with his team is just as incredible. Champions league football will keep on Van Persie and next season who knows?  Should be able to finish top 4.

4.Tottenham (58)

Still playing cracking football, with class such as Bale, Modric and Adebayor and the magnificent management of 'Arry will stave off Chelsea and Newcastle to return to Champions League football.

5.Chelsea (53)

Undergone a resurgence under Di Matteo of all people but won't be enough for him to keep his job or enough for Chelsea to make Champions League football in all likelihood.  The treasured competition Europa beckons...

6.Newcastle (53)

Have pulled many surprises this season, excellently managed by Pardew, finishing 6th a great result to set up a real play for next season.

7.Everton (43)

Surely David Moyes has got to be headhunted by Tottenham or Chelsea for their next manager?  Just does it week-in, week out, probably won't hold off Liverpool but who knows?

8.Liverpool (42)

Been a disappointing premiership, but Kenny Daglish should do enough to put them above rivals Everton, with a FA Cup and Carling Cup a consolation.

9.Sunderland (41)

Have played better than they're results have shown, will stay at 9th.

10.Fulham (39)

Difficult run home, will drop down the table

11. Swansea (39)

Playing beautiful football, will run home their impressive season by finishing in the top10

12. Norwich (39)

Must be cursing their run home, but enough to stay up though will drop a bit down the ladder

13. Stoke City (38)

Whatever you say about the way they play it's effective and will rise to 11th-12th in all likelihood.

14. West Bromwich (36)

Will snatch enough points to just about stay where they are

15. Aston Villa (33)

The luck has not been on Mcleish's mens side but will be worried with a horrible run home

16. Bolton (29)

Will get enough enough points to avoid relegation.

17. Queens Park Rangers (28)

Horrible horrible run home.  Hughe's men will be cursing their luck.  Hard to pick but expect them just to scrape through.

18. Blackburn (28)

Might be leaving it too late, if can beat West Brom, Norwich and Wigan will survive.

19. Wigan (28)

Have been great to watch, will be sad to see them go down

20. Wolverhampton Wolves (22)

Are gone.
