Man City’s win over Chelsea provides major obstacle in Man Utd Premier League title hopes | Football | Sport

Like City, United have put together a string of results at just the right time and sit level on points with leaders Liverpool.

Liverpool’s recent draws with Fulham, West Brom and Newcastle have opened the title race up.

United would have been hoping serial winners City were going to fall away as their early season form suggested.

However, it is clear Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side now have at least two strong challengers in their quest for top spot.
