Last week United had a lucky escape at Fulham. The United played below average game and still were able to get out with a win, thanks to a late Ronaldo strike. The game ended 2-1, with the Fulham players and fans leaving disappointed after a wonderful performance. Even Jose Mourinho, the Chelsea coach responded to that game saying it was "completely undeserved".

Ronaldo Scores the Winner against Fulham
Chelsea are trying hard to get back to the title race. At present they are 9 points behind at 60, but they have a game in hand. If Manchester United lose the game at Anfield, that will definitely give hopes to Mourinho and he will, for sure, do everything to retain the title.
At the bottom, things are looking really bad for the three teams - Charlton Athletic (23 points), Westham United (20 points) and Watford (19 points). Charlton is facing Watfor on Saturday in a clash of the relegation teams. Charlton seems to be the only team out of these three to make a progress and with lots of luck stay in the premiership next year. Its a distant possibility, but for them at least there is a possibility. For Westham and Watford, the season is almost over and they can now think about playing in the first division.
