Liverpool sits top of Premier League as Chelsea bows to Arsenal December 2, 2008

For the second straight game, Liverpool failed to find the back of the net and settled for another 0-0 draw, this time against West Ham United. Still, it was good enough to put them ahead of rivals Chelsea for the leadership of the Barclays Premier League.
Despite going behind early, Arsenal managed to score two goals courtesy of Dutch striker Robin Van Persie and frustrate Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. That essentially ended the Gunners’ three-game losing skid in England. For Chelsea, the loss was only their second but a crucial one since Liverpool managed to gain a point against the Hammers.
It could have been worse for the Reds had Craig Bellamy made his 30-yard strike shortly before the end of the first half. Spanish striker Fernando Torres did not suit up for the Merseyside club while Captain Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso both were given but missed their chances to end the deadlock.
Liverpool will meet Blackburn Rovers on Saturday before their final Champions League group game against PSV Eindhoven on December the 9th.
