Champions League race is definitely on
Arsenal’s victory means that the Gunners are now at the 3rd spot in the table with a tally of 63 points, having played 34 games. They are now five points behind 2nd placed rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Manchester City are at the fourth spot with 61 points as they failed to win at Newcastle United in their last game.
Manchester United occupy the fifth spot with a tally of 59 points. However, another team that is also looking for a top-4 finish is West Ham United, who are at 6th spot with 56 points. The difference between these four sides is only 7 points and the risk is very high. If any one team falters in the last four games, it might be difficult for them to find a place in the top four.
However, Manchester City and Liverpool are still alive in Europe and if either of the two manage to win their respective tournaments, then the 4th placed team might have to give way to the winner.
With just under a month to go for the finish line, the race for the top-4 is well on and Arsenal are now leading the way but have faltered in their chase of the Championship.
