Title race between Liverpool and Manchester United says Jamie Carragher

19 February 2009 08:35
Carragher has dismissed the chances of Chelsea and Arsenal, who have both fallen off the pace. Chelsea are five points behind Rafa Benitez's men while Arsenal are 10 points adrift.[LNB]United, meanwhile, have a five-point lead over Liverpool at the summit.[LNB]Chelsea travel to Aston Villa on Saturday, two points behind Martin O'Neill's team with 13 games remaining. Villa are currently flying high in third and if Chelsea fail to win at Villa Park, they can all but kiss goodbye to their title hopes.[LNB]Carragher, though, appears to have already written off Guus Hiddink's men, and said: "We finished fourth last season, but we have overtaken Chelsea and Arsenal and even though everyone at the club understands that it is not over yet by a long way, at the moment it looks like it is going to be us and Manchester United for the title.[LNB]"Just by overtaking Chelsea and Arsenal in the challange is an achievement in itself, so everyone should be proud of that.[LNB]"Now, hopefully, we can go one step further and win this title.[LNB]"There are still a lot of games to go, so it's important everyone at the club remains calm.[LNB]"United have a bit of a lead on us at the moment, but if we can close that gap before we go to Old Trafford next month, that would put us in a great position, especially if we are in form at the time of that game."[LNB]
