Chelsea lead EA Super Liga

EA Sports inaugural Super Liga competition, consisting of 8 best of the best teams in Europe, is off with a bang and it's a surprising frontrunner at the half way point in the league.

Chelsea lead the home and away elite competition, and with 7 games remaining feel confident they can charge toward the finish line with their noses in front.

"It's close at the top with the top 4 of Chelsea, Bayern, Barcelona and Man United all jostling for positions." says ESPN correspondent Shaka Hislop.

'I'm not sure if Chelsea have the fire power to withhold the big teams at the business end - I can see Barcelona and even Real Madrid making a charge. And Bayern will also be hard to stop."

England's other hope Manchester United have so far impressed and show signs that last season's disasters in the Premier League are well and truly behind them.

"I think Man U are the sleeping giants at this stage - its certainly up for grabs."
