Barclays Premier League Matchday 32 Round Up

With all the games in the books, Manchester United continues to top the English Premier League.   Their victory at Old Trafford over QPR, solidified their lead over Manchester City with eight points. Tottenham for the time being remains in third place, pending the outcome of the Manchester City/Arsenal game.  Tottenham’s draw against Sunderland will move Arsenal ahead of Tottenham, should they win.  Chelsea remains in fifth place after their win over Wigan at Stamford Bridge.  Arsenal moved back into third place after defeating Arsenal 1-0.

While the race to the top continues to be a two horse race, with the advantage to Manchester United, there are still several clubs battling to escape relegation.  The Wolves, who lost to Stoke City, will have a difficult time and are almost guaranteed relegation with six points behind Wigan.  Both Wigan, Q.P.R and Blackburn lost their respective matches this weekend and require a few wins to move out of the relegation zone.  Bolton is in the same boat, with just 29 points.
