Arsenal – Chelsea: Sixty Million Down The Drain? King Kai Inflicts More Pain! (5-0)

At a similar stage to last year, the final furlong of the Premier League brought back these two teams together. Todd Boehly's bankrolled blueprint, crippled with little return on outlay, still stalls out in the wilderness. And again, firm foundations at Arsenal's armory swept them away.

Tactical analysis and match report by Emmanuel Adeyemi-Abere.

Arsenal arrested their slump with a 2-0 triumph against Wolves on the weekend that propelled them back to the top of the table. However, the pursuit of perfection remains of the utmost importance. The reigning champions still stand to return to the summit with the maximum output from the rest of the six fixtures on their schedule. It would be two days before Manchester City next took to the field: the more points they could secure for certain, the more pressure mounted upon their fellow contenders.

Chelsea cannot conceive of a title charge at the moment. The memories of an elite organization that ruled the roost in London are fading further into the past. Their last lifeline for silverware fizzled out after a 1-0 loss to Manchester City in the semi final . . .
