As the new year begins we have 14 teams who could find themselves in a relegation fight although of course in the next 8 games several could see themselves as relatively safe.
The fight for the title though is also more interesting this year mostly because a new contender find themselves at the top of the tree. Liverpool fans have often touted themselves as title contenders at the beginning of the season but this is as much blind faith and reliance on history rather than reality. I will hold my hands up and say at the beginning of the season I didn't think they were genuine contenders and didn't believe their new signings would make much of a difference.
The top of the table currently stands at:
1. Liverpool - played 20, points 45, GD +22
2. Chelsea - played 20, points 42, GD +31
3. Man Utd - played 18, points 38, GD +19
I still believe Man Utd will come out on top. They have a great team spirit and quality players that can win matches.
Liverpool though do have the determination and Torres returning form injury so this years title race could be a classic.
