Five things we learnt from Arsenal's dull goalless draw against Chelsea

Omens look good for Arsenal

There is something that all the Arsenal fans, who are worrying about the side not being top at Christmas must know about. Whilst it is true that, psychologically being top at Christmas is a wonderful, recent history suggests that teams that are top at Christmas, don’t necessarily go on to win the title.

This is especially true for Arsenal, as all three of their Premier League titles have come when, you guessed it, they weren’t top at Christmas. And on the two occasions that they were, they didn’t win it. So, the omens look good for Arsenal, but they will only get there if the can find a way to get past the big sides.

Whilst it is all well good to beat the Cardiff’s and Hull’s of this world, they also have to find a way past the other sides challenging for the title, and that, barring a win over Liverpool, is something Arsenal haven’t managed to do, so far this season.
