Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Southampton run-ins

Who has the toughest run-in at the top of the table?
The sign of champions is to be able to snatch a victory when you are not at the top of your game, by any means necessary, and Cesc Fabregas' late winner at QPR in their Super Sunday clash certainly added further proof that they would be worthy Premier League winners.
Many believe the title race to be all but over with Jose Mourinho's Blues holding a seven-point lead with a game in hand at this late juncture in the season, but it certainly won't be the mere procession many expect.
Manchester United and Arsenal are up next, who have won their last six and eight league matches respectively, followed by Chelsea's game in hand - away at Leicester who will be fighting for their lives, with Liverpool, who they have beaten just twice in their last five meetings at Stamford Bridge, to play before May 24.
"We need three victories and two draws so our situation is good. Championships are pure mathematics," Mourinho said after Sunday's win. He's right you know.
