A bit of a shock in the Premier League tonight as Hull managed to hold Chelsea to a 1-1 draw (they briefly led 1-0 during the first half).

This now means that for the first time in quite a while, the League table looks reasonably “true” in that no teams at the top have games in hand on one another.

We are now just two points behind Chelsea who are just five points ahead of Arsenal.

We all expected Chelsea to sweep Hull aside and hoped that perhaps Arsenal could do us a favour on Sunday.

Suddenly it is not beyond the realms of possibility that we could take top spot on Saturday and stay there.

We still need to beat Portsmouth of course and a decent win could remove Chelsea’s goal difference advantage but if Arsenal can get at least a draw then we could be top of the League for “real” by Sunday evening.

However, Arsenal now really do have everything to play for when they take on Chelsea on Sunday. A win for them would put them just three or four points behind the leaders (depending on how we do against Portsmouth).

Good stuff!
