With the emergence of two midfield stars and forgotten men up front, Chelsea and Manchester United are the frontrunners for the Champions League spots as the top-four battle heats up... but who has the edge?

With two months to go, the top-four race is hotting up and two clear frontrunners have emerged after another weekend of striking developments in the Premier League.

Behind the leading triumvirate of Liverpool, Manchester City and Leicester, arguably six teams are still in the running for the Champions League spots and particularly if fifth place is in play given Manchester City's European ban, appeal pending.

Chelsea, who have held fourth-spot since late November, thrashed Everton 4-0 at Stamford Bridge in one of their performances of the season, and in a week where they beat soon-to-be Premier League champions Liverpool in the FA Cup.
