Arsenal have the advantage in the fight for the Champions League zone in the Premier League

DBasia.news – The competition for the Champions League zone in the top four of the 2021-2022 Premier League is tight. The top three teams are almost certainly occupied by Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea, leaving one slot in fourth place.

It is in the fourth place that the struggle is fierce between West Ham United, Manchester United, Arsenal, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Tottenham Hotspur. The six teams are also in line with the current order (up to week 25) from fourth to eighth in the standings.

Football pundit, Jamie Carragher also gave his predictions regarding the fight for the Champions League zone. According to him, Arsenal have an advantage over rival teams.

Currently, Arsenal have only played 22 times and have collected 39 points, two points adrift of West Ham in fourth place and have played 25 times. In addition, the Gunners are also fully focused on playing in the Premier League.

Arsenal are no longer participating in the League Cup and FA Cup and not playing in Europe, so they are completely focused on the Premier League and this could be an advantage.

“I think it will be difficult for West Ham to get into the top four,” the Liverpool legend told Sky Sports.

“Arsenal, what a win for them away to Wolves. Match in hand (only played fewer games), no European football.

“You think about how long Manchester United are going to be in the Champions League, it can play a role. It feels like the race for the top four will be fierce.”

“I think it will continue until the end. Arsenal, do they have enough strikers? Spurs appear to be in trouble.

“Right now I think you’re going to get them out of it. Wolves look (like) a great team.”

The competitors for the top four Premier League does have their own ‘uniqueness’ and difficulties. Man United are still playing inconsistently, while Tottenham have a bad period with Antonio Conte, and Arsenal are also often inconsistent with West Ham.

A team that has momentum and can maintain consistency in playing has a great chance of finishing fourth alongside Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea.
