Beware the ides of January and February. Well do if you are a Chelsea supporter.
With Man United's poor run, injury worries and loss to lowly Leeds yesterday punters are queuing up to get against the Champions and with Chelsea.
However over the last 3 seasons we have seen the following trends in the Premier League. At the start of '09 Man United won 11/11 games; '08 they won 8/9 and '07 10/11. Whereas Chelsea won just 6/10 at the start of '09; 6/10 at the start of '08 and 7/10 at start of '07.
With United winning all three Leagues you can work out how the rest of the seasons went respectively. Of course Man United are getting players back to Chelsea loosing in particular Drogba and Essien to the African Nations Cup.
Chelsea currently lead Man United by 2 points and Arsenal by 4 (with a game in hand).
