Could Chelsea be docked points?

Manchester United could receive a boost to their title hopes after Arsene Wenger revealed he’s looking into the possibility of reporting Chelsea to the FA.

The Arsenal manager is upset that Michael Essien played in their 3-0 loss at the Emirates last week, and believes the Ghana midfielder should not have been on the pitch.

Essien refused to play for his country just three days before the Arsenal game and FIFA regulations dictate that he should have been ineligible.

Wenger said: “Essien didn’t play for Ghana but he still played against us, he was not entitled to do so. We will investigate to see if there has been a breach of the regulations.”

Chelsea have written it off as a non issue, but Sulley Muntari was refused permission to play for Inter Milan on the same day after he also refused to play for Ghana, so Arsenal will feel that have a strong case.

Whether they will proceed with it is another matter, as docking points from Chelsea would directly benefit Manchester United.
