It means that after beating Aston Villa at Aston Villa's ground, Manchester United have collected sufficient points so that they are now only six points behind the leaders Chelsea. "Pompey" is the "nickname" of Portsmouth football club and "the Baggies " of West Bromwich Albion. "The bottom three" means the three clubs at the bottom of the league which are the relegation places.

Good job, Forbes. How difficult it was, at least to me, and it still is! I never understand sports commentators and weathermen!

Regrettably, Chelsea have since beaten Arsenal and are now 9 points ahead of Manchester United.
