The latest Premier League round saw league leaders Chelsea strengthen their grip on the Premier League title. The Blues squashed Arsenal 3-1 on Saturday, with their closest rivals, Tottenham, trailing by nine points.
For the likes of Arsenal and possible Liverpool, the league title will have to wait until next season due to their respective losses – the Reds were defeated 2-0.
Wenger needs to emulate Conte, or risk his Arsenal career
All is not well at the Emirates. With Wenger suspended for the trip to Stamford Bridge, he could only watch from the stands as his boys were ripped apart by a rampant Chelsea side, kissing goodbye to any hopes of ending their long wait for a Premier League title.
12 points separate Alexis Sanchez and Co. from Conte’s side, with the “Wenger Out” boys louder than ever. Luckily, Wenger has the perfect model to follow if he intends to continue with the Gunners: Antonio Conte.
The Italian boss faced a similar embarrassing defeat – losing 3-0 to Arsenal – but changed Chelsea’s formation and tweaked with their lineup. A similar shakeup at the Emirates could be key, but Wenger might, as he has proven before, be too stubborn for change.
Leicester’s relegation battle is real
Earlier on this seasons, fans were amused by Claudio Ranieri’s claims that Leicester’s main target for this campaign is to avoid relegation. Now, the drop is ever so real for fallen Premier League champions.
Their most recent game saw them host Man United, but the Foxes’ home advantage counted for nothing, as they lost 3-0. The defeat left them with 21 points, only two ahead of bottom-of-the-table Sunderland.
Ranieri’s boys are the first Premier League club to be without a goal in their five first games of a calendar year. The future of Leicester is bleak.
0 - Leicester are the first top-flight club to fail to score in their first 5 league matches of a calendar year since Spurs in 1986. Blank.
