EPL this month

This is it. The final lap to the EPL with only 2 more matches to go. Whose form is good, whose is not; read on
Top Teams this month
Chelsea- Avram Grant has done what Jose Mourinho couldn’t. Get Chelsea into the Champions League Final. The man has turned the season into a winner after the less than impressive start by Jose but amazingly the man still can’t get any respect! Wonder what all those critics will say if he win BOTH Champions League & EPL?
Aston Villa- Aston Villa made a good start to the season, faltered mid-season, and now they are soaring back. At one stage, they even scored 15 goals in 3 games. That’s an average of 5 goals per game! Manager Martin O'Neill has built a good, young team together and I expect them to be even better next season. If Gabriel Agbonlahor and Ashley Young continue to get better…look out for Villa next year for the title.

Surprise Team this monthFulham- Just last month I said Fulham looked certain to join the Rams in the Championship next year, and then they went out and prove me wrong. A series of battling displays has turned the tide slightly and they now have a chance to avoid the drop. It may be too little, too late; but I don’t mind being wrong as Fulham is fighting with pride. That’s admirable.

Disappointing Teams this month
Manchester United – Yes, yes; I know they are still leading the EPL, but quite frankly Man Utd should have sewn up the title by now. Cristiano Ronaldo has faded quite badly for the past 3 weeks and with the injury to Wayne Rooney, they are facing a problem upfront. Sir Alex Ferguson may complain all he liked, but they deserved to lose at Chelsea. Not only that, I felt they were lucky to escape defeat against both Blackburn and Middlesbrough. Don’t be surprise if they drop points in the 2 games and lose the EPL title to Chelsea.

Derby- The Rams are on record to break all the records teams do not want to break. Most goals conceded and least points won in the EPL. Not much to say for them expect next season can’t come soon enough for them.
