The Arsenal v Manchester United fixture has now taken on even more significance. Either team winning could be decisive, however a draw may suit both teams.

It's hard to predict where points will be dropped in the remaining fixtures as this season's league defies logic.

Could these fixtures be crucial;

Arsenal v Liverpool at the Emirates?

Man Utd taking on a somewhat rejuvinated Chelsea ?

Arsenal's visit to Sp*rs 

Man Utd away to the Hammers ?

No idea! one things for sure, the maximum points achievable for either team are the same, IF, there is a draw between the two , but you kind of feel that on 1st May it will be a  case of winner takes all.

Next Saturday's FA Cup tie should provide a gauge of where the power lies.
