ARSENE WENGER was the happiest man in England last night — and even Stevie Gerrard could not argue.The Liverpool skipper trudged way from Stamford Bridge after a dire stalemate with Chelsea.
And with Manchester United losing 2-1 to bitter derby rivals City, Arsenal can go five points clear at the top tonight if they beat Blackburn at home.
But Chelsea boss Avram Grant insists his team are not out of the race.
He said: “I am not happy because with United losing this was a big opportunity for us and we have not taken advantage of it. At the moment we are still in with a chance of winning the title. Ask me again after Arsenal have played.”
Kop boss Rafa Benitez refused to discuss his team’s title prospects.
He would only say: “We have a game in hand on the teams above us so let’s win that, get back into the top four and try to progress from there.
“Normally it would be a good result to get a point away to Chelsea.”
