Chelsea pulled off an emphatic 7-0 victory over Stoke City yesterday. With this victory, Chelsea has once again moved to the top of the pole with an advantage of one point over second placed Manchester United, who grabbed the first place after its 3-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur. With just 2 rounds to go before the league comes to an end, the competition for the title has become stiffer with Chelsea and Manchester United vying with each other. United has been premier league champion for three years now, while Chelsea last won the premier league in 2006.
Chelsea dominated over Stoke City throughout the game and with this victory they also increased their goal difference which could be decisive if they finish the league with the same point of Manchester United. Ivory Coast international Salomon Kalou scored a hat-trick while Frank Lampard struck twice. Sturridge and Malouda also scored once each.
However, Chelsea is going to face Liverpool in their next game. Naturally, the Blues will play for 3 points, while the All Reds would do everything to win the game in its bid to clinch the Champions league spot for next season. On the other hand, Manchester United does not have any big opponent to face in the next two rounds, but the Red Devils might miss the service of their in-form striker Wayne Rooney for both the games as he is out of action with a groin injury.
