Disclaimer: My first fanpost where I've written so much (Plz excuse the grammar)

Alright lets begin....As most of us must be aware, this weekend we have some pretty exciting EPL matches lined up (and we play Norwich, which I don’t count in this list :p)

On 22nd Jan, Arsenal host Manchester united while Manchester City host Tottenham Hotspur, I believe our season depends a lot on these two fixtures and could possibly decide where we finish at the end of this season.

Assuming that we win against Norwich(yeah I’m that brave), there are nine different possible outcomes (read scenarios) that we can come across from these two fixtures. Each scenario may/may not affect the league standings.

************************************************

Scenario 1 – Man City Win + Arsenal Win

Scenario 2 – Man City Win + Man U Win

Scenario 3 – Man City Win + Arsenal Man U Draw

Scenario 4 – Tottenham Win + Arsenal Win

Scenario 5 – Tottenham Win + Man U Win

Scenario 6 – Tottenham Win + Arsenal Man U Draw

Scenario 7 – Man City Tottenham Draw + Arsenal Win

Scenario 8 – Man City Tottenham Draw + Man U Win

Scenario 9 – Man City Tottenham Draw + Arsenal Man U Draw

I had been doing this guessing game for quite some time now, which is finding the best possible outcome for our beloved Chelsea FC from both this matches; simply put, what should we hope for. Hence this poll.

So my fellow blue mates, what would you prefer on this weekend. You have nine options to choose from.

To facilitate your decision making, I have provided League standings corresponding to all eight scenarios (No position has been assigned to Arsenal, as it will depend on Newcastle and Liverpool matches, which I preferred to not consider for my calculations. Had I considered their matches too, then the number of tables would have been exactly 81…point proven ???)

So lets begin….

PS: I have not included goal difference, as I don’t see GD playing any significant role in top 4 league standings, at least till this weekend.
