Comments:

League position: 3rd Arsenal had now failed to score in any of their last five meetings with Chelsea in all competitions and had won just two of their last 13 Premier League clashes with the Blues. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had still not beaten current Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho in a senior game. In 13 attempts, this was the sixth drawn game. The Gunners had won their last eight Premier League games and won their last 11 matches in all domestic competitions. This was the first time they had dropped points at home since losing 2-1 to Manchester United on 22 November 2014. The last time Arsenal failed to score in a Premier League game at the Emirates Stadium was in a 0-0 draw with Manchester United on 12 February 2014.

Comments:

League position: 1st Chelsea would now need six points from their last five games to clinch the Premier League title. The only other game that they had failed to score in all competitions so far in 2014-15 was a goalless draw in the Premier League at Sunderland on 29 November.
