EPL Wk 27 Match Review:man City's Back On Track,chelsea Struggles To Remain Top by Jeez2(f): 11:09pm On Feb 25, 2015
Manchester City 5 - 0 Newcastle

Ok so Chelsea fans lets face this hard truth..............

we are scared.The question is WHY ?

Manchester City are back on track,after (recently) struggling (to keep up with Chelsea at the top of the Premier league result table) in their previous Premier league matches in the absence of SUPERMAN midfielder Yaya Toure (who went to represent his home country in the AFCON 2015 competition)

They effortlessly beat Newcastle in this game to a 5-0 victory,while the Chelsea side disappointingly drew 1-1 against bottom struggling side Burnley.They are now 5 points below the Premier league top spot which Chelsea currently occupies

This is the 2nd time Manchester City have scored 3+ goals within a very short time interval in the Premier league history (21 minutes).The 1st was 7 minutes v Burnley in April 2010

City's David Silva was involved in 3 goals in this game (2 goals and 1 assist),the first time for him in a single Premier league game

Sergio Aguero has scored in 5 of his 7 Premier league appearances for his club against Newcastle

Aston Villa 1 - 2 Stoke City

Aston Villa have failed to win in any of their previous 11 league games,maybe it's because they are always given red cards in their games.

They are the only Premier league team to have acquired more red cards in matches played in the Premier league this season (a whooping 6 red cards!!!)

Villa's Scott Sinclair scored with a header in this game,his 1st since August 2012

Stoke City's manager; John Gregory is the last permanent manager to win his 1st league game against Aston Villa

Chelsea 1 - 1 Burnley

In this this game,Chelsea conceded from a corner,the 2nd for them in the Premier league all season

They have luckily kept 16 clean sheets in their last 20 home games (kudos!)

Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas is the only Premier league player to have the most assists in the Premier league this season (he has assisted in 15 goals for the club)

Ivanovic has now scored 4 goals in 6 matches for his club (Chelsea)

This is the 2nd time for Burnley to draw against a top-flight team this season,the 1st was (2-2) against Manchester City in late December

Danny Ings has scored in 5 of his last 6 matches for Burnley

Crystal Palace 1 - 2 Arsenal

Palace's Yannick Bolaise made his 100th appearance for the club in this game in all competitions

Arsenal have won 14 of the 26 Premier league matches they have played this season.

Their recent consecutive wins have now seen them progress to the 3rd place on the Barclays Premier league result table,dramatically moving a step above their usual 4th place.

Problem is will this last?

Will Arsenal be consistent and prove themselves to be unmovable like the Chelsea side who have been top since the start of this season ?

Will they maintain this position (and maybe overtake City and Chelsea),or will they enjoy this new position for just this week,seeing that there is just 1 and 2 points differences between them and Manchester United (4th place) and Southampton (5th place) respectively.

All I can say for now is; lets keep our hopes high,our fingers crossed and watch as the Premier league battle moves into the 27th week

Oliver Giroud in this game,scored his 50th goal for Arsenal in all competitions

Carzola has scored more penalties in the Premier league this season,more than any other player in the Premier league
