March
6 Wolverhampton vs Man United (A)
10 Man United vs AC Milan (H) - CL
13 Man United vs Fulham (H)
20 Man United vs Liverpool (H)
27 Bolton vs Man United (A)
United cannot afford to drop points in March. considering united faces 2 home and 2 away, all is a must win for united. United needed to win at home against liverpool, no question on this. If Liverpool were to lose, then their hopes of finishing 4th will be severely dented if their rivals were to win their game.
April
3 Man United vs Chelsea (H)
10 Blackburn vs Man United (A)
17 Man City vs Man United (A)
24 Man United vs Tottenham (H)
United need to beat chelsea at home, as simple as that. as for derby match against city, its a difficult one to call, as city also need the points to finish 4th place. April could be the month that either will continue to challenge or lose the title in April.
May
1 Sunderland vs Man United (A)
9 Man United vs Stoke (H)
By now it should be clear if united will either retain or lose the title. Arsenal may well sneak in from behind and win the title. that would be the shocker of the season if they did that.
I'm not confident...do we have the toughest remaining matches amongst the Big Four?
wait chelsea remaining fixture list is tough. Chelsea faces Man City at home this weekend. Chelsea still have to travel to united and faces liverpool on their last 2 games of the season. Chelsea still have to travel to Villa, who are challenging for 4th spot with liverpool, spurs and man city. looks a tough one for chelsea indeed. hope city can draw, never mind beat chelsea this weekend. considering its an away game, it would be good if city can hold chelsea to a draw.
Spurs

Chelsea fixture list looks tough. besides facing united on 3 April away to OT, chelsea needs to face all these teams, starting this saturday facing man city, although they are at home, but its not easy, as man city is also looking for points to finish 4th. chelsea has to travel to liverpool on its last 2 matches away to liverpool, so its a tough one for them. united have to travel to city on 17 April, so its also a tough one to call. Arsenal have an easier fixture list compared to united and chelsea. they may sneak in from behind to win the title should united and chelsea slipped one or 2 matches before end of the season. if arsenal does win the title, it will be the mother of all come backs.
now that cech is injured, chelsea will not have it easy in the remaining matches.

Yeah but out of the matches that Cech is going to miss, only Man City (H) and Blackburn (A) may pose a problem for Chelsea leh.
Nonetheless I do hope that Hilario will cock up in the matches that he is gonna play. Not that Chelsea's backline has been that impressive this season to begin with.

hope that man city can held or beat chelsea this saturday. city also need the points to finish 4th, so this saturday city can do its arch rival united a favour.

For the sake of Man U winning the title I shall switch my allegiance for a day and support Man City for a day.
If the gap is not reduced to less than 4 points before Chelski play Man U at OT then it would be hard lah. But this season has been quite unpredictable, and Everton did exploit Chelsea's weakness at SB, resulting in a 3-3 draw.
Well, nonetheless, enjoy...

I think city can get something out of this sat clash with chelsea. No need to win, a draw is already suffice, as its 2 points dropped at home. if its a draw, then its just 2 points separating the two front runners. chelsea remaining fixture lists is tougher than united, as chelsea need to travel to liverpool on 2 May and also need to face villa at home and spurs away, not to mention travelling to old trafford in April.

Anyway agreed but the Liverpool clash at Anfield for Chelski may be inconsequential if the title has been decided then (penultimate game). Else I hope that Scousers can do Mancunians a favour and defeat/hold Chelsea.
Anyway, fingers crossed that John Terry will score an own goal from a Wayne Bridge cross... that will hand City victory tomorrow...
Although that will only happen in my dreams.
When are they going to win again with this matches?
man city did united a favour when they beat chelsea 4-2. I believe cech being out for 1 month is a crucial factor. without cech, chelsea is just not the same team defensively, with JT performance being affected by the scandal. chelsea still need to travel to united in April.
I bet man u to win epl....
Now that we see the gap remain at 1 point, there is always a chance that Man U will overtake Chelsea before the top of the table clash on 3 April.
I seriously wonder why people think Chelsea will win the title... It is not like they have played fantastic football all season. Chelsea played well for most of the season while Man U has only performed well in some matches. Not that Man U played that fantastically in the season so far yet they are just a point behind Chelsea. Can you imagine what would happen when a on-song Man U goes on a rampage and crush opponents in their way?
Time will only tell.
if united win against Bolton on sunday, then its all win for them in the month of march. after bolton got bayern match and then its against chelsea. this could well decide the BPL title. Arsenal will be hoping both will draw as it will benefit them.
wow, april is crucial..
chelsea, which will go all out, blackburn, a tough, physical place that just held chelsea to 1-1, Mcity, a tevez revenge plot and Spurs, a red hot team who is starting to cement themselves @ 4th..
but if MU can get thru this, it is really a feat..
