Since they drew 1-1, Liverpool still have a chance. However, Arsenal lost 2-1 to Watford.

Time for Wenger to call time on his managerial career with Arsenal. Continuing would just do damage to his legacy at the club.
Gooners demand Champions League and EPL titles. FA Cup just simply doesn't make the cut I'm afraid.
the Moyes Utd fiasco could repeat itself at Arsenal if they got the wrong new manager. then Arsenal fans would remember Wenger's legacy more fondly.
West Ham Utd 0-4 Man City

Mourinho - the ultimate Cry Baby. Why can't EPL managers give sensible mature post match interviews when their teams don't win?

The match finished Chelsea 3 Arsenal 1, so it appears the title race is no longer alive.

To be honest, Arsenal's title challenge was probably finished long before this game. I would expect to see the likes of Sanchez and Ozil to look for other clubs.
Wenger must go.
As for Chelsea, the title is almost in the bag (and it's only February).

Chelsea sweep aside Arsenal, Liverpool beaten by Hull, Tottenham defeat Boro
from espnfc.com
Marcos Alonso, Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas were all on target as Chelsea defeated Arsenal 3-1 at Stamford Bridge to consolidate their lead at the top of the Premier League table.
The Blues broke the deadlock in the 13th minute, with Alonso beating Hector Bellerin to a loose ball to head home the rebound after Diego Costa had first crashed his own header back off the crossbar.
Hazard doubled their lead eight minutes after the restart, driving from his own half towards goal, while shaking off Francis Coquelin in the process, before gliding into the box and slotting past Petr Cech.
And Fabregas made it three against his former side late on, sending the ball into an empty net from distance after intercepting a poor clearance from Cech.
Giroud scored a consolation goal for Arsenal deep into stoppage time, heading in a Nacho Monreal cross, but it was too little, too late for the visitors.
The victory took Chelsea 12 points clear at the top of the table, before Tottenham Hotspur reduced the lead to nine points later in the day.
Hull City inflicted a fourth defeat in five games in all competitions on Liverpool with a 2-0 win at the KCOM Stadium to boost their fight against relegation.
Alfred N'Diaye put Hull into the lead on the stroke of half-time, pouncing on a loose ball to score from close range following a mistake from Simon Mignolet.
The Tigers could have added another after the break with Abel Hernandez wasting two opportunities in quick succession, first sending a strike into the side netting and then being thwarted by Mignolet.
Hull did, however, make it two five minutes from time through Oumar Niasse, who latched onto a Andrea Ranocchia long ball before slotting past Mignolet.
Harry Kane scored the winner as Tottenham beat Middlesbrough 1-0 at White Hart Lane to move three points clear in second place.
Despite creating a number of chances in the first half, Tottenham were unable to make a breakthrough, with Toby Alderweireld hitting the woodwork with a header and Kane having a goal ruled out for offside.
However, Kane did manage to break the deadlock in the 58th minute, sending Victor Valdes the wrong way from the penalty spot, after Son Heung-Min had been brought down in the box by Bernardo, to secure the win.
Sam Allardyce's reunion with Sunderland was an unhappy one as his former club recorded a 4-0 win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Sunderland edged ahead after 10 minutes through Lamine Kone, who bundled the ball over the line after his header had first been blocked, before Didier Ndong then made it two shortly before the break with a strike from distance.
The Black Cats were in dreamland by the time the half-time whistle sounded, with Jermain Defoe scoring two in two minutes in stoppage time with a pair of fine finishes.
Romelu Lukaku scored four goals and registered an assist as Everton saw off Bournemouth with a 6-3 win at Goodison Park.
Everton needed just 31 seconds to open the scoring, with Lukaku receiving the ball from Morgan Schneiderlin in the box before cutting inside and firing home.
Lukaku turned provider after 23 minutes, teeing up James McCarthy to double the Toffees' lead, and he was back on the score sheet six minutes later, taking advantage of a mistake at the back before netting his second.
Joshua King pulled one back for Bournemouth in the 59th minute and bagged another 11 minutes later, but Lukaku ensured Everton would end up the victors with two more goals in the closing stages to cap off a memorable game for the striker. There was still time for Harry Arter to score a third for Bournemouth and Ross Barkley a sixth for Everton in stoppage time.
West Ham came from behind to record a 3-1 win against Southampton at St Mary's and move into the top half of the table.
Manolo Gabbiadini's Saints debut got off to the perfect start when he broke the deadlock after 12 minutes, racing clear of the defence before firing past Darren Randolph.
West Ham, however, were level just two minutes later when Andy Carroll connected with Pedro Obiang's ball to slot into the back of the net, with Obiang then scoring himself in the 44th minute with a long-range strike to turn the game on its head.
An own goal from Steven Davis seven minutes after the restart completed the scoring for the Hammers, with a Mark Noble free kick deflecting off the midfielder past Fraser Forster.
Burnley's away troubles continued as they went down to a 2-1 defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road.
Burnley got off to a bad start after losing Jeff Hendrick to a red card inside six minutes, with Watford then going on to score four minutes later through Troy Deeney, who was on hand to head in M'Baye Niang's delivery.
Niang got in on the act himself in first-half stoppage time after heading Jose Holebas's cross into the corner and, although Burnley pulled a goal back through an Ashley Barnes penalty after a Sebastian Prodl handball, Watford held on for the victory.
James Morrison scored the only goal of the game as West Bromwich Albion saw off Stoke City with a 1-0 win at The Hawthorns.
James Morrison fired the Baggies ahead after just six minutes, latching onto a Nacer Chadli pass before gliding the ball past Lee Grant.
Former West Brom player Saido Berahino was brought on in the second half by Stoke but the visitors were unable to find an equaliser.

Antonio Conte: Chelsea coach Angelo Alessio is regular 'victim' of my anger
By Liam Twomey, Chelsea correspondent
from espnfc.com
Antonio Conte has said his heated touchline argument with assistant coach Angelo Alessio during Chelsea's 3-1 win over Arsenal was caused by a mistake on marking assignments at a corner kick, and admitted that his desire to win makes him "capable of killing anybody" in the heat of a match.
Alessio incurred Conte's wrath shortly before half-time at Stamford Bridge when Gabriel forced a save from Thibaut Courtois with a free header from an Arsenal short corner, the Chelsea head coach grabbing and shouting at his assistant before sending him down the touchline to relay a message to the team.
Chelsea were leading 1-0 at the time and went on to beat Arsenal 3-1 to maintain their nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League, but after the match Conte gave an insight into his management style.
"Angelo is my right-hand man and also, if you will, my most regular 'victim' because he is the closest man to me, the one I have the most direct relationship with," Conte said in an interview with Sky Sport Italia.
"Basically, what happened is that before the game, in training, we had clearly prepared a number of situations arising from corners and so forth, and on that occasion Arsenal had a sixth man in the box, and that meant that [Victor] Moses, who was originally meant to be on the edge of the area, had to go mark the sixth man.
"In such cases, [N'Golo] Kante needs to move back from his usual position further forward next to Costa, to take Moses' place further back, so as not to leave that part of the box uncovered. They failed to do that, and I got angry [with Angelo]."
Asked jokingly by presenter and former Juventus teammate Paolo Di Canio if he would have done the same to fiery striker Diego Costa, Conte added: "Look, Paolo, in such moments I am capable of killing anybody.
"I am such a 'your death is my life' kind of person that all manners go out of the window in the heat of the moment: the only thing that matters is winning. But that's because at the end of the day we're all working towards the same goal and we are all united."
