With so many games postponed over the last week or two this was going to be a time to pick up some good points if one were able to play. The theory that is points are better than games in hand may be proved wrong or right as we reach a very important time in the Premiership race. Manchester United, the reigning Premiership Champions could have gone one point clear at the top and Arsenal could have gone within a point of Chelsea, had their midweek game against Bolton had gone ahead the Arsenal would be sitting pretty at the top and what a confidence boost that will have been. The advantage of numerous postponements may be seen as a bonus for Manchester United as they seek a fouth and unprecedented title. Over the next few months games will be coming thick and fast with certain teams, who are still in Europe, having to play almost three games in each six day period to keep up. If Sir Alex Ferguson sticks to his young guns in the Carling Cup then they will have less of a fixture pile up than others. The weather does not look like changing soon and should there be fresh snow during the week then more games should be postponed at the weekend, meaning those that do play are given the chance to add some pressue onto those below them. As the league table currently stand the best bookmakers have Chelsea, the West London Club as 10/11 favourites with United in second at 5/2.About the Author:
