Cape Town - Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has claimed that Chelsea should already be considered champions, after the two sides played out a 0-0 draw at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
The Blues headed into their clash against the Gunners with a nine-point lead over second-placed Manchester City. The goalless stalemate handed both teams a point, extending Chelsea's lead to 10 above both City and Arsenal, who drew level with the holding Champions on points.
There are now five games remaining for Chelsea and Arsenal, and one less for City, meaning that the Blues can win the league at home against Crystal Palace next Sunday, assuming they also beat Leicester City in their next fixture at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday.
