Arsenal next? Most devastating EPL title collapses - ranked

Manchester City beat Arsenal in an absorbing contest at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday to draw to within three points of the Premier League leaders. As a result, if Pep Guardiola's men win their game in hand at Burnley in midweek, they'll replace the Gunners at the top of the table on goal difference.

Carrick & 'LinkedIn Liam' are heading in different directions

Chelsea simply had to win Saturday night's Premier League clash with Manchester United. But they didn't. They lost. Again. And without scoring a goal. Again. It's now four blanks in a row in four defeats in a row for the Blues - their worst goal-less run of results since November 1912. As a result, Liam Rosenior's struggling side remain sixth in the Premier League standings, four points behind fifth-placed Liverpool, who have a game in hand.

Wake up, Chelsea! Blues risk being cut adrift by resurgent Man Utd

Chelsea's season is on a knife edge - not that you'd know it given the meek nature of their recent performances. Out of Europe and without a league win in more than six weeks, their campaign is drifting into mediocrity at the worst possible moment, and defeat to a revitalised Manchester United on Saturday night could send the Blues into complete freefall.
