Arsenal 5-1 Everton: 5 Talking Points 

#1 Can this new-look Arsenal side finish within the top 4?

Top 4 on Arsene Wenger's mind?

Bolstered by some new firearms, Arsene Wenger's Arsenal gunned Everton down, eventually reducing them to tatters. If anything, this was just what the doctor ordered for the North Londoners, in a bid to restore parity after Alexis Sanchez's departure.

Retaliating this way after losing a player you had built your squad around isn't something every manager and every club can pull off. Wise business in the transfer window, coupled with the liberation brought around by the absence of Sanchez's sulk seems to have truly reinvigorated the Gunners.

Last night, this Arsenal side looked deadly. Working as a unit, firing in cohesion, fighting as a team, this side seems to have shrugged off all the negativity that seemed to weigh it down all this while.

Just 5 points adrift of the top 4, and only 3 of out the remaining 12 games to be played against top-6 teams, in all honesty, a top-4 finish isn't quite out of Arsenal's reach yet. And while that shouldn't be what they aim for every season, they'll be more than happy with it this season

Will Arsene Wenger and this newly upholstered Arsenal side lunge enough to reach the top 4? Only time will tell. However, if they do continue to play like they did last night, you'd be wise to put your money on them to finish in the top-4 and subsequently play in the UEFA Champions League next season.
