Arsenal and Chelsea's title hopes set for major blow !!

With the African Cup of Nations coming up in just a few months, do you think that it may hand the title to Man United or not? Obviously both Arsenal and Chelsea have a larger amount of Africans in their teams that will be going off to Ghana to represent their nations in the tournament and that in my view may yet be the deciding factor in this seasons Premier League.

Chelsea have the likes of Didier Drogba playing in the tournament for the Ivory Coast and in my opinion Chelsea aren't the same team wothout him. Arsenal have, in opinion their best defender in Kolo Toure representing the same country as Drogba and I think Arsenal will suffer without him.

Both clubs may get lucky that Ivory Coast get knocked out early but I can't envisage that happening. In total Arsenal have three players going to Ghana in January and Chelsea have four players taking part in the tournament. So, what do you think, will this effect both sides challenge for this seasons title?
