can city keep the streak going after getting 3 points finally?

chelsea's defence may be a bit porous after losing essien for the next month..and are very fortunate to have their good players still there before leaving at the end of december. so i guess acquiring kun aguero and ribery may be necessary hmm?

united seems to have the toughest match..the villians, who are in great form right now want this game to tighten things up; with a decimated opposition in united and possibly the best keeper in the world right now in brad friedel, chances are high..they can steal 3 points so dont be surprised..

liverpool and arsenal is tough to call, but still i think the gooners are favored..despite being at anfield, without van persie, and not in good form right now, liverpool seems to be majorly lacking offence without fernando torres..gooners look to win and stay close to the blues..but if everything goes wrong..look for chelsea to capitalize and further stretch their lead..

and you thought 5 games in one month was bad pips?? (mark this date on next year's calendar: feb 7th and 10th)..think again, arsenal travels to stamford bridge and welcomes liverpool at the emirates in a span of 4 days..thats 6 points well deserving if we can take both matches..
