  2. Wobble time for Chelsea?published at 17:10 British Summer Time 4 April 2015

    So are Chelsea undergoing a little bit of a wobble?

    They remain unbeaten at home but have drawn the last three games in all competitions at Stamford Bridge since finding a last-minute winner to beat Everton nearly two months ago.

    Holding on to leads has been the problem and they've failed to do it in four of their last five at home against Manchester City, Burnley, PSG and Southampton.

    They do have a 100% record at home to Stoke in the Premier League though. Some good news for you there Blues fans.

    Is there a new contender in the Premier League title race? Arsenal's performance against Liverpool earlier today suggests there just might be.

    The Gunners move to just four points off Chelsea, albeit having played two more matches, after demolishing Liverpool 4-1 earlier today.

    A defeat for the Blues this evening and Arsenal might just start to believe.

    Top of the Premier League by four points, unbeaten at Stamford Bridge. It's all plain sailing for Chelsea. No?

    Perhaps not. The Blues may be in the driving seat but there have been signs in recent weeks of their foot coming off the pedal.

    Time to turn up the gas again?
