It was just your usual Arsene Wenger match on New Year's Eve. His Arsenal side failed to beat the team bottom of the table and he had lots of chances to moan about the penalty decision that cost Arsenal a crucial away win. That draw at West Brom left them in fiifth place, a point adrift of that valuable fourth place and five behind second-placed Chelsea. The Gunners have only won one of their last three league games but are unbeaten in eight league and cup games since a 3-1 home loss to Manchester United at the start of December. Home form has seen Arsenal win every game apart from that loss to United and a draw with Liverpool. When it comes to taking on the top teams at home, they don't win that many and this will be difficult against an in-form Chelsea side. Chelsea moved up to second place in the Premier League table after a comfortable 5-0 home win over Stoke City on Saturday. They are on a good run at present with five wins and a draw from their last six league games. A successful defence of their Premier League title looks out of the question but they are still in the Champions League and the semi-finals of the Caraboa Cup, where they have to take on Arsenal home and away and by the 24th these two sides will have met each other three times. The Blues have kept three straight clean sheets and have only lost one of their last six away league games. The two sides drew 0-0 at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season and 1-1 over 90 minutes in the Community Shield This looks like another game between these two sides that will end in stalemate.
