Chelsea beat West Ham 4-1 on Saturday to retake the provisional lead in the Premier League, while Arsenal drew level on points after a stoppage time winner by Nicklas Bendtner earned a 2-1 victory at 10-man Hull.

Hugo Rodallega fired Wigan to a 1-0 first ever victory over Liverpool on Monday to boost its chances of avoiding relegation from the Premier League and severely damage the visitor's chances of finishing fourth.

Since climbing to the top of the Premier League, Arsenal has taken only one point from three games, slipped to third and been knocked out of the FA Cup.

Tottenham stayed fourth with a 2-0 victory over Fulham, as Liverpool's bid to rejoin the English Premier League's elite group faltered further with a 0-0 draw at Wolverhampton on Tuesday.

With media attention focused on Arsenal's resurgence and Manchester United's problems, Chelsea's attempt for its first ever Premier League and FA Cup double seems to be passing almost unnoticed.
