Final at Stamford Bridge:

Chelsea 5 (Melchiot 4, Lampard 70, Hasselbaink 77,87,90)
Wolves 2 (Camara 23, Craddock 57)

Wolves stole the lead off a Craddock goal, and still had a tie when Hasselbainkm who came on as a substitute in the 59th, hit 3 in the final 13 minutes to kill Wolves chances.

To make matters worse, Portsmouth defeated Blackburn 2-1 on an 82nd minute goal.

So, Blackburn's loss, and Manchester City's draw mean that the bottom of the Premiership looks like this:

15- Manchester City: 31 points, -1 goal differential, 8 games left
16- Blackburn: 31 p, -6 gd, 8 games left
17- Portsmouth: 30 p, -19 gd, 8 games left
--------------------------------------------------------------------
18- Leicester: 27 p, -13 gd, 9 games left
19- Leeds: 25p, -31 gd, 8 games left
20- Wolves: 24 p, -36 gd, 8 games left

Leicester lose their game in hand on Monday when they play Leeds. So, 7 points separate 15th from 20th. Maybe this won't be just 4 teams battling for one spot after all.

Leicester actually play tomorrow against Liverpool. The match against Leeds is not until April 5th. My mistake.
