No, but Everton might. I'm always pessimistic.
Actually, Chelsea losing does take the pressure off next weekend a bit - I've always thought this season would be decided by who wins the mini-league between ManU, Chelsea and Arsenal, and since we've only had one game in that so far it was too early to tell. But the goals-for column is so massively out of kilter that the 'defences win championships' argument mightn't work. Arsenal currently have the worst defence of the three, 8 goals conceded against 7 for Man U and 2 for Chelsea, but those 8 goals have only cost us 2 points, while Chelsea's 2 have cost them 3 points.
Manchester United will come good, if they find a midfield (Rooney/Scholes?) from somewhere, as Chelsea and Arsenal (and a few other clubs - Xabi Alonso at Liverpool is a superb signing) are way ahead at the moment. No point having 65m quid of strikers with no supply.
