first club to do the domestic cup double twice while the blues also travel to buy in munich in a fortnight for the champions league final still at wembley we want to know and should chelsea go on to win that final in munich they would automatically qualify for next year's champions league and only the top three in england would then also go through arsenal a surge but their european hopes were dented after they were held three three at home in a stroller with norwich. and i've been to the higher side after just seventy seconds the goals from west and grant holt's gave the visitors the lead then two second off goals in eight minutes from the prolific robin van persie put arsenal three two up yet substitute steve martin eighty fifth minute level saw the point shared also winless in four and their champions league fight now after their own hands. so on the sunday and tottenham could leapfrog us all into third if they win at struggling aston villa one of the bottom third bottom bolton host west brom's manager roy hodgson is down for england full of bottom q.p.r. faced full of take on sunderland while manchester united and to keep up the
