Two hard-fought Chelsea wins later, over Newcastle, and in Sunday's thriller at Everton, Jose Mourinho's side are now within two points of United - following Sir Alex Ferguson's team's unexpected reverse against West Ham.

Chelsea are now once again odds-on to win their third consecutive title. Is this an over-reaction to Sunday's events? Or do the Blues' last two wins show they have retained their killer instinct and ability to eke out results when points seem to be slipping away from them?

Will the incoming Henrik Larsson help United to avoid losing games such as last Sunday, when a failure to convert chances contributed to their defeat? Does Sir Alex Ferguson need to strengthen elsewhere in the transfer window?

Will the destiny of the Premiership title come down to the clash between the two sides at Stamford Bridge in April?
