Gudjohnsen feels Blues catching Arsenal

Eidur Gudjohnsen insists Chelsea are closing in on English champions Arsenal and believes the arrival of new manager Jose Mourinho may even have shifted the balance of power to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea, under the guidance of Claudio Ranieri, dumped their London rivals out of the Champions League quarter-finals last season but finished a distant 11 points behind the Gunners in the Premiership.
