Full time: Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea
Arsenal and Chelsea played out a defensively well drilled draw at Emirates. Chelsea still remain 10 points clear of second placed Manchester City, while Arsenal move down to 3rd place after this draw.
Jose Mourinho started without a recognized striker due to injuries hitting the whole forwards line up. He placed Oscar as the striker in a false nine position with Willian, Hazard and Ramires playing behind him. Mourinho set up the team in a similar fashion in which they played against United, where the whole team will put their bodies behind the ball and counter with the pace of Hazard upfront.
Both teams put on a great defensive display and did not give each other much space to take the advantage. Ramires’s effort with the outside of his boot was the only clear cut chance which Chelsea had in the first half. Courtoise did not have much to do as he was guarded by a brilliant Chelsea back line.
Chelsea have to wait till next weekend to lift the Premier League trophy, and they can do that if they beat a high flying Leicester City away and Crystal Palace at home.
