Infighting Damages Arsenals Title Hopes
Tuesday 25 March 2008 at 17:41  As Arsenal slipped up yet again at Stamford Bridge this weekend, to record their worst sequence of results for nine years, reports have emerged that several players are unhappy with the recent antics of captain William Gallas.
Two late goals from striker Didier Drogba saw Chelsea deal a massive blow to the Gunner's title chances during their 2-1 Easter day win.
With the Blues leapfrogging them in the table to sit five points behind Manchester United, one point ahead of Arsenal, it is looking increasingly unlikely that the Premier League trophy will be returning to the red and white section of North London this year.
Manchester United are currently rated at 2/7 favourites by Bet365, Totesport and William Hill to retain their premiership crown.
Chelsea have climbed to best odds of 4/1 with expert.com Boylesports and Extrabet, while a string of four draws and one loss means that the best odds on Arsenal winning their first title since 2004 are 11/1 with Totesport, Paddy Power and Stan James, and 12/1 with VC Bet.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has refused to give up on the title race. After the match on Sunday, he said: "We can still win it. It's not finished yet, so we have to believe."
