Chelsea are 9 points clear of Man City. Man City has "three games in hand"

Can City get all 9 points and win on goal differential assuming the Blues and the Blue Mooners score an equal number of points?

Will Chelsea stumble? Leave a point or two on the pitch? Can City get all the results they need while still chasing 3 trophies (OK, UEFA CL is a long shot, but technically still on the table)?

Discuss.

For the record, I say City win the FA cup, but fall to Barca in CL and actually will finish 3rd in the Premier League, behind Arsenal and champion Chelsea. Why? Because Aguero will get injured again.

Both still have to come here:



Who can take a point or not will determine the champ, imo.

Yeah, in all seriousness, I agree. Whoever get more points at Anfield will win it.

Sort of. Most of England would rather us win it over the $$$$$ boys. But oh well.

So essentially, Chelsea has already played and won the 3 games Man City is lacking. I'm going to say the pressure is on City.

It pains me to say it, but the Anfield theory might be correct. frick that place.

That's a really good question. I should probably have taken that into account.

Chelsea's next six fixtures:

BPL 15 Mar 2014
v Aston Villa (A)

BPL 22 Mar 2014
v Arsenal (H)

BPL 29 Mar 2014
v Crystal Palace (A)

BPL 5 Apr 2014
v Stoke (H)

BPL 13 Apr 2014
v Swansea (A)

BPL 20 Apr 2014
v Sunderland (H)

Also has: Liverpool (A), Norwich (H), Cardiff (A)

Man City's next six fixtures

BPL 15 Mar 2014
v Hull (A)

BPL 22 Mar 2014
v Fulham (H)

BPL 25 Mar 2014
v Man Utd (A)

BPL 29 Mar 2014
v Arsenal (A)

BPL 5 Apr 2014
v Southampton (H)

BPL 13 Apr 2014
v Liverpool (A)

Also has: WBA (H), Crystal Palace (A), Everton (A), West Ham (H)

Pretty sure City also has two rescheduled matches to play that aren't on their website yet.

Well after looking at that it seems that Chelsea has a slightly easier road. Afraid Arsenal has fallen too far behind and would need some help. Guess we should put everything toward the cup.

Chelsea has the easier BPL schedule, but they will also remain in the CL longer than City, while City will probably make it to the FA Cup final, but they will be able to play many backups in those FA Cup matches. All in all I'd say Chelsea has the easier road though.

hasn't happened, but it's an inevitability.

BOTH trophies directly lost to the poor play of one man:
