Champions?

7 games to go. Who will emerge as EPL champions this season?

Man United is leading the table with a 6 points lead over Chelsea. The Blues and The Red Devils will meet next month in what could turn out to be the deciding factor in the race for the Championship.

The Red Devils came from a goal down to beat Blackburn Rovers 4 - 1, with all 4 goals in the second half. Chelsea needed an injury time winner from Kalou to beat Watford 1 - 0 at Vicarage Road.

But victory comes at a price for Man United. Defender Nemanja Vidic had to be taken off the field with a broken collarbone sustained in the match and could be out for the rest of the season. Man United are currently without Gary Neville and Silvestre at the moment, and it could prove to be a blow to their championship hopes.

With The Red Devils short of defensive cover, will they be able wrestle the championship crown away from Chelsea come May this season? Will the injury to their defensive rock Vidic proved to be a deciding factor in this exciting chase for the Championship? Stay tuned to find out....
