After a strong first half of the season which forced many to look at Arsenal as strong contenders, their title challenge has slightly fizzled out after a testing February. Also, the 1-0 loss at Stoke City has not helped one bit, as their season is under threat of falling apart in March where they face the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Manchester City and Everton consecutively. It is do-or-die for Arsene Wenger’s men, and bookmakers feel that the Gunners will come up short in this thorough examination of their trophy winning credentials.

While there is a cloud of uncertainty over the red half of London, the sun is shining brightly over the blue half. Led by the much celebrated Jose Mourinho who has downplayed his team’s chances this season, they have crept to the top of the table and currently hold a 4-point advantage over their closest rivals. They won 3-0 at Southampton this weekend after a dominating performance, which has also seen the odds heavily favor Mourinho’s team, as reported by Metro.

Things are clearly looking up for Chelsea, while there is a lot of work to be done for Arsenal. Since the gravity of the situation is intense after the Stoke City loss, the difference is still just 4 points and with the clubs due to face each other March 22nd there is still time for some twists and turns.
