Arsenal offered little resistance to a rampant Chelsea side as they
fell to a 3-1 hammering at the hands of their London neighbours.
The big news however is that the top four spot which the Gunners have
made their own for two decades could
slip out of their grasp.
A victory for Manchester City against Swansea tomorrow will see
Arsene Wenger's men drop to fourth place, just one point ahead of
Liverpool in fifth place and five points ahead of Manchester United who
have a game in hand.
That deficit will be reduced to just two points if the RedDevils come
away with all three points in what will most likely be a tough away
game at reigning champions, Leicester.
With competition for Champions League places heating up, Arsenal will
find it difficult to stave off intense pressure from the likes of
Manchester United and Liverpool.
The Gunners have finished inside the top four in each of Arsene
Wenger's 20 years in charge at the club but will this be the year they
fall short?
