The Blues had a chance to be eight points up on the Gunners but Chelsea’s tie with Hull City left the door ajar for the Gunners to move within three points with a win at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
The Hull City tie gave Chelsea 55 points.
Arsenal has 49.
This is a must win situation for the Gunner nation.
Fabregas, Arshavin, and his mates need to step up to the plate big time.
It is kick ass and take names time for the Gunners.
Nothing short of a win will suffice.
Nasri said it best. A loss will kill our title hopes. A defeat is not part of our lexicon.
So, true my main man.
The Gunners have had a full week of practice. There were no mid week games. The guys should be rested. Locked, loaded, and we are ready to fire everything in our arsenal at the Blues.
Eduardo will not make the trip.
Theo Walcott will play but Diaby will be a game time decision if he is fit or not.
Lets hope Diaby is ready to go.
I will be holding my breath until mid Sunday morning.
Go Gunners and kick some major butt.
The other matches with title implications are Man U-Portsmouth, Liverpool-Everton, Hull City-City, and Tottenham-Aston Villa.
The Red Devils should not have a problem handling Pompey at Old Trafford but anything is possible. Least we forget what Burnley pulled off at the house that Man U built in the way back machine in September.
I bet the Red Devils fans haven’t.
When Man U wins this will give them 56 points. This will propel Man U into first place in the EPL.
The other big match is Spurs-Aston Villa.
There is a logjam for the final Champions League spot between Villa, Reds, City, and Spurs.
Lets not forget this little diddy. Thirteen points separate Spurs and first place Chelsea. If either Villa or Spurs can go on a huge run and at the same time the Blues stumble a title can be had by Tottenham, Villa, and yes Liverpool.
I am I saying this will definitely happen? No.
But, lets not rule out the possibility of Chelsea faltering down the stretch.
This years EPL title race has been any thing but sane.
Expect in the insane.
There are fourteen games left and crazier things have happened.
