Arsenal are not out of it though, should that happen. They would only drop to 7 points behind Chelsea, but with a game in hand. And with Chelsea still to go to Liverpool (where I think they will lose) it's still all to play for.
Forget Chelsea, if Arsenal lose and we win then we'll be 1 point clear of them with 2 games in hand. If (big if I know) we win our 2 games in hand then they'll be 7 points behind us (8 really if you consider the goal difference) with no games in hand. That's too much really to think they can catch up, even if they do beat us at the Emirates in a few weeks.
Lets not discount Arsenals ability to get something on Saturday. Chelsea will be without Ramires and Willian and Arsenal have looked pretty solid at the back for most of this season.
I can see this being a draw which for me would end Arsenals title challenge and will put a bit of a dint in Chelseas. Thats the result im hoping for anyway and hopefully that will see a good atmosphere at the Etihad for the fulham game.
Agreed. I see Wenger playing this pretty conservatively actually. They can't afford to give Chelsea 3 points and would be too scared of gettign taken on the break.
