Can Spurs get back into the title race?

Over the next 24 hours or so then Tottenham have a chance to at least get a foot hold back into the title race again. With their manager Harry Redknapp still in court then things are not easy for them and they face a daunting trip to Anfield on Monday evening. Liverpool have had two very impressive results in the two cup competitions after their defeat away at Bolton.

Battle at the Bridge

Andre Villas-Boas has been rather fortunate to still be in a job at Chelsea based on the history of recent managers and how each of them performed. Avram Grant came runner up in the league and made a Champions League final and that still wasn't enough to please owner Roman Abramovich. Clearly though the owner feels the need for continuity and with Chelsea laying in 4th position in the league in February then it may be a bad time to get rid of the manager.

Cool quartet keep title momentum going

The second half of the Bundesliga season could be a real rollercoaster ride as it appears that four teams are firmly in the title mix and in the sort of form which will keep them going until the death. Bayern Munich lead the way after beating Wolfsburg 2-0 at the Allianz Arena, but there is still a three-way tie at the top as Dortmund and Schalke are also on 40 points.

The relentless winning machine that is Real Madrid (El Clasicos aside, of course) appears to be finally grinding down champions Barcelona in this season’s La Liga title race. The previously imperious Catalans have been struggling on the road at times in recent months and came unstuck again last weekend as they were held to a goalless draw by Villarreal at El Madrigal.

Can Fulham upset City's title plans

It is a little too soon to suggest that the wheels are coming off Manchester City's season but things haven't gone well for them over the past couple of months. While results haven't been disastrous.....they have been sporadic. Dumped out of the Champions League, Carling Cup and FA Cup is hardly what City would have expected last December going into February.

Can Barcelona reach another final?

Valencia host Barcelona this evening in the 1st leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final and Barcelona go into this game not only as clear favourites but also under some pressure to win this competition. Winning the Champions League is difficult for any club and they trail league leaders Real Madrid by some margin and so silverware is not guaranteed in either of those competitions for the Nou Camp outfit.

Can Milan overtake Juve at the top?

Juventus still remain at the top of Serie A despite some very stiff competition. They have been through a very tough few seasons after being relegated to Serie B and they have fought back to the top of the pile once again overtaking both Milan clubs. They currently lead AC Milan by a single point and Inter Milan by 9pts. While teams like Inter Milan and Lazio are not out of the running, they both have a lot of catching up to do.
