Thierry Henry: Premier League title is a five-horse race

Drogba, now 37, is widely considered to be one of the best purchases of the Abramovich era and returned last season to win another Premier League crown before moving to MLS franchise Montreal Impact.

The Arsenal fans gathering for their latest fixture against Norwich City have stated they’d love to see Stones at their club but aren’t convinced Wenger will pay the price needed to bring him to the Emirates.

Arsenal was in a good position on the half-hour after Alexis Sanchez sent Mesut Ozil through to clip the ball into the net.

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has named the five sides he believes are in the running for the Premier League title this season, and Chelsea are not one of them.

“We were the most unsafe team and we had the best chances”, said Mourinho, the Chelsea manager. But Lewis Grabban leveled before half time after easily brushing off Gabriel Paulista’s challenge in meeting Robbie Brady’s throughball.

Manchester United (and David de Gea) conceded from open play in the Premier League for the first time in 545 minutes.

And Arsenal’s injury list only lengthened.

“As we get in the New Year things may spread out a little bit and it might not be such a close race, but I think it will stay tight and the title will be keenly contested right until the end”.

Liverpool’s 1-0 victory over Swansea on Sunday – Jurgen Klopp’s first league victory at Anfield – ensured the Reds remained firmly in the chase for honours and Champions League qualification.

Mauro Zarate put the host ahead in the 17th minute with a pinpoint free kick, but West Brom equalized early in the second half when substitute Rickie Lambert’s shot deflected in off Winston Reid for an own goal.

“If they had beaten Spurs and West Brom like they should have done, they would be three points clear at the top”.
