Can Arsenal claim the top spot after the Premier League games this weekend?

December 30, 2010

Christmas has proved to be an explosive time for teams in the Barclays Premier League; Burnley have parted ways with manager Brian Laws, Chelsea’s losing streak continues and bottom club Wolves beat Liverpool for the first time in 27 years to give more stress to Roy Hodgson.

Meanwhile Arsenal have stated to claw their way back up the table, first by beating Chelsea 3-1 on Monday but then only then to draw against 10 man Wigan on Wednesday. However a win at the weekend against Alex McLeish’s Birmingham team could help to catapult Arsene Wenger’s side back up to the top spot of the league. A lot however will depend on how Manchester United do against West Brom (United are currently at odds of 8/15 to win away).
