Chelsea missed the opportunity to break into the top four of the Premier League on Saturday after grinding out a 0-0 draw with third-placed Arsenal at the Emirates. With Chelsea facing a daunting Champions League trip to Barcelona next week, manager Roberto Di Matteo rang the changes by naming only three members of the side that had beaten the Spaniards 1-0 in Wednesday’s first leg.
