Arsenal - Chelsea
0 - 0
at Emirates Stadium
Arsenal and Chelsea shared a scrappy goalless stalemate at the Emirates
on Monday to leave Liverpool top at Christmas.
In a tight opening period in this London derby, Frank Lampard volleyed
against the bar.
The Gunners are now level on points with Liverpool at the top, while the
stalemate sees Chelsea move back into fourth, two points off the top.
The Gunners boss was bidding for a first win over his Portuguese
adversary at the 10th attempt, knowing that was what his side required to
return to the top at Christmas.
Chelsea beat Arsenal on enemy territory in the Capital One Cup in
October but their approach in the Premier League was less adventurous.
