Is the title race back on again?

When Manchester United demolished Liverpool back on Easter Sunday, many pronounced the Premier League race as good as over. But following today's pulsating 2-2 draw at Middlesbrough things don't look so simple. Arsenal may have run out of steam in the February mud but Chelsea have kept chugging along, rarely as impressively as they did under Jose Mourinho admittedly, but still well enough close the gap.

Avram Grant's side are now just three points behind United, who they still have to play at Stamford Bridge. Before then, United must face Arsenal and make a tricky looking trip to Blackburn too. And while Chelsea have tough away matches at Everton and Newcastle it seems only right to ask: is the title race back on?

Run-in: Manchester United: Arsenal (h), Blackburn (a), Chelsea (a), West Ham (h), Wigan (a); Chelsea: Wigan (h), Everton (a), Man Utd (h), Newcastle (a), Bolton (h); Arsenal: Man Utd (a), Reading (h), Derby (a), Everton (h), Sunderland (a)

Latest odds: 1-3 Manchester United, 11-4 Chelsea, 25-1 Arsenal, 999-1 Liverpool
