Manchester City stormed to a 3-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon, closing the gap on Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table

Manchester City were able to close the gap between themselves and Arsenal to just six points in a 3-0 thrashing of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. As a result, the race for the Premier League title has been massively tipped in their favour.

Arsenal have Champions League football to contend with still, while City could yet reach the FA Cup final too.
