The way spurs are playing, they can even finish 5th, leaving 3rd and fourth for arsenal and man u..

My thought exactly. Spurs away to Liverpool and Man City will be tough. Emery is doing a great job at Arsenal. Manchester United and arsenal will make top 4

Arsenal stands a better chance making top four than other contenders.
their fixtures are relatively easy

The race is on! The race for the Premier League title is not even as intense as the race for this one. It is a race that has featured so many falls and stumbles. It’s the race for third and fourth in the English Premier League. Who are the contenders?

Let’s start from the bottom


Sarri & His SarriBallers


The boys in blue have had a topsy-turvy season so far. From hugging the ball down to horrific thrashings, Sarri has not had an easy induction into the English game. The Italian has proven a stubborn customer who will not change his style regardless of the depths his team falls to.

VERDICT: Will Chelsea make top-four, going by form and their season as a whole, NO. The best the blues will get from this season is a lowly 5th. Put into consideration that the Blues still have to navigate through away matches against Liverpool and Manchester United and 6th just might be Chelsea’s reality.


Ole & Manchester United


Full-time. Arsenal 2 Manchester 0. This loss had been coming for quite a while, the fact that it was Arsenal that finally brought it seemed only apt. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for all the plaudits he has been receiving has not done much tactically at United. Those boys are playing with unadulterated motivation at the base of their gameplay. That is one thing we can credit Ole with.

Now, the inevitable Premier League loss has come, will it open up a dam of further losses? Or will the boys march on to a top-four spot?

VERDICT: The only reason why there is a possibility Manchester United will finish the league in fourth is because of Arsenal’s volatile nature. Manchester United are not invincible again, and with matches against Manchester City and Chelsea still to come, Ole might just be about to find out what the Premier League is truly about. Once your invincibility is thwarted, the wolves come calling. They are stronger favourites for 5th than Sarri’s Chelsea though.


Unai’s Arsenal


The Gunners are firm favourites for fourth spot. They have a fairly easy fixture list with the trickiest of those against the likes of Wolves, Everton and the slippery Crystal Palace. Fourth position is literally theirs to lose. The ball is in their cot and Unai has to convince that he is truly an upgrade to Monsieur Wenger.

Verdict: The Gunners should easily retain 4th spot. Except, they bottle it which is really far down their alley. Apart from that, gunners’ fans might even dare to dream of 3rd. Why? Introducing….


Pochettino’s Spurs


Spurs gave both Manchester United and Chelsea the chance to snatch 3rd spot over the weekend. Neither side had the cojones. With crunch away fixtures to Liverpool and Manchester City still to come and a potentially tricky tie to Everton on the final day of the League, the road might just be bent for Spurs.

Verdict: If Arsenal do the needful, Spurs will not finish in 3rd. Plain and Simple. However, the worst for Spurs should be 4th spot.

In the end, the table might just be looking this way

3rd. Arsenal

4th. Tottenham

5th. Manchester United

6th. Chelsea

As usual, go wild in the comments,







This is how the table will look like at the end of the season

1... Manchester City
2. Liverpool
3..Manchester United
4. Arsenal
5. Chelsea

Wow!

I love this analysis and as a die-hard arsenal fan, I know it will feel so good to see arsenal back in the champions league.

I will base my own analysis on what I will prefer to call the-best-case-scenario!

What is that?!

Of course, all the top six clubs in the EPL will qualify for the next champions league.

But it will depend on luck.

The luck is the either Manchester City or Liverpool wins this year's UEFA champions league.

And...

Either Chelsea or Arsenal wins this year's EUROPA cup.

Should that happen, it will free up two places for England alone thus allowing four top English clubs from the top six to join those two other winners who will qualify automatically for the UEFA champions league.

So it's over to Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and my darling Arsenal to do the needful for England.

It's not bad belle. Am a neutral fan of football. I know teams that will creatively harness individual prowess in the last remaining games.
Man U is not one of them. Man U needs total overhaul to regain their pride.
Man U will slip further in the remaining 8 games. Chelsea has 9 games left and they will come strong in the remaining games. Same with Arsenal with 8 games. Tothenham are usually unpredictable. They become complacent at the last stage.

No nation is allowed 6 spots in the UCL. You can only have 5. If Manchester United wins it this year and don't make top four and Arsenal wins the Europa league, Arsenal will drop out.

Check the rule book.

Never say never!

EPL is very tricky especially towards the end of the season with the relegation battle causing upsets.

Who would have thought that Southampton would come back from a goal down to thrash Tottenham?

Newcastle came back from 2 goals down to beat Everton, finishing the match by 3-2.

I was even surprised that Arsenal slaughtered Man Utd with a clean sheet 2 : 0 - just imagine! cool
