jose mourinho insists arsenal can mount a late charge to win the barclays premier league title, however statistics from the last 10 years show chelsea tend to finish the season off in fine form premier league leaders chelsea have dropped an average of just 86 points per season during the last 10 years if the blues replicate the form they have shown in their last 10 games during previous seasons then manchester city will not be able to retain the league title even if they claim nine consecutive wins chelsea look set to win the 2014 15 premier league title as the blues tend to finish the season off in fine form  chelsea dropped two points against southampton at the weekend but are still odds on favourites to win the title  jose mourinho insists arsenal have joined chelsea and manchester city in the premier league title race  2013 14: 11 points dropped  12 13: 7  11 12: 15  10 11: 10  09 10: 5  08 09: 6  07 08: 10  06 07: 11  05 06: 6  average: 86 points dropped  chelsea are seven points clear of manchester city with a game in hand of both their title rivals  arsenal are even further behind as they are currently seven points behind premier league leaders chelsea, having played a game less than the gunners however mourinho said after his side's 1 1 draw with southampton: ‘of course arsenal are in it they are seven points behind chelsea, but have one less match to play than chelsea ‘both city and arsenal are in the title race it depends on the momentum for arsenal   the 3 1 defeat against monaco or the 3 0 defeat against west ham? ‘so the danger is always there but i keep saying, we are there if someone had told me in august that, at the end of march, we'd be six points in front with a match in hand, i'd have signed for that immediately' chelsea would finish the season off with over 85 points (854 to be exact) if history is to repeat itself   based on the average number of points they have dropped in their last 10 games of the season the maximum amount of points manchester city can ascertain is 85 and that would mean manuel pellegrini's side defeating the likes of manchester united, tottenham and southampton arsenal, on the other hand, will be on 84 points if they win their remaining nine fixtures of the campaign so it appears mourinho's statement on arsenal's title credentials may have just been a ploy to ease the pressure on his players following their draw against southampton premier league champions manchester city slipped up against burnley at the weekend  chelsea  hull (away)   march 22  stoke (home)   april 4  qpr (away)   april 12  man united (home)   april 18  arsenal (away)   april 26  leicester (away)   april 29  crystal palace (home)   may 2  liverpool (home)   may 9  west brom (away)   may 16  sunderland (home)   may 24  manchester city  west brom (home)   march 21  crystal palace (away)   april 6  man united (away)   april 12  west ham (home) april 19  aston villa (home)   april 25  tottenham (away)   may 2  qpr (home)   may 9  swansea (away)   may 16  southampton (home)   may 24  arsenal  newcastle (away)   march 21  liverpool (home)   april 4  burnley (away)   april 11  sunderland (home) april 18 postponed  chelsea (home)   april 26  hull (away)   may 2  swansea (home)   may 9  man united (away)   may 16  west brom (home)   may 24  note: fixtures in may subject to change for television schedule for a full list of premier league fixtures and to check kick off times, results and league tables, visit our brilliant match zone by clicking here games marked 'postponed' will be rearranged due to fa cup
