Arsenal and Tottenham are some of the Premier Leagues best sides, but each faces possible elimination from Champions League play next season. Each play a certain style of soccer and both are close to grabbing the ever elusive 4th Champions league spot. Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea all look like locks to finish first, second, and third. Tottenham currently sit 4th with 57 points and 7 games remaining, meanwhile Arsenal have 54 points with 8 games remaining.
Remaining Matches
Arsenal: Southampton(A), Chelsea(A), Manchester United(H), Leeds(H), Tottenham(A), Newcastle(A), Everton(H)\
Tottenham: Brighton(H), Brentford(A),Leicester City(H),Liverpool(A), Arsenal (H), Burnley(H),Norwich City(A)
Tottenham and Arsenal both have rough schedules and it is going to come down to last few games before anything is decided. Arsenal can easily pick up 3 points against Southampton, however playing Chelsea away at Stamford Bridge might prove difficult for Arsenal to pull off. The following game they play Manchester United who are desperate to get into 4th as well. Leeds are a capable team as well, but more importantly they play Tottenham away which will more than likely decide 4th place. I don't see them losing to either Newcastle or Everton so it is really up to the game they play against Tottenham. As for Tottenham they play Brighton and Brentford , which should be routine games for them and a 3 points in each. Following that however they have a rough 3 game stretch against Leicester City who are always a team that no one wants to face, and then they play Liverpool at Anfield. Liverpool have only lost 1 game at Anfield in the Premier League within the past few years so 3 points there will be difficult. Next they play Arsenal at home, they are both eager to win in this game as it will mean a possible 3 points against the opposing team vying for 4th place. Burnley and Norwich are bottom of the table teams so I see and easy 6 points for them there. In conclusion more than likely each teams fate will be decided when they play each other for the 4th and final spot to play in the Champions League next season.
Even though I know almost nothing about soccer, I found this easy to follow!
