Again.

This despite the Gunners going down 3-0 to Crystal Palace away from home at Selhurst Park in the Premier League last night.

Jamie Carragher on Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur
Carragher said on Sky Sports Football (10:24pm, April 4, 2022): “I think two or three months ago I was asked the question on this show, and I actually said Tottenham at the time.
“But I said Arsenal yesterday. I will probably go back to Tottenham. It changes all the time.”
The Sky Sports pundit added, as transcribed TheBootRoom: “I think it’s a bad night for Arsenal. The way they’ve lost not just the three points.
“But I think it’s very important they don’t sort of panic and there’s no hysteria. They’re still in a really good position, a better position than Tottenham and Manchester United.
“They’ve just won five away games on the bounce, 15 out of 18 away from home, they’d have took that.”
Top-four battle
In our opinion, Arsenal are in a better position than Tottenham at the moment. to finish in the Premier League top four this season.
However, the Gunners need to step up their game and have to bounce back from the loss to Palace.
Now, of course, any team can lose football matches, but against Palace, Arsenal really lacked creativity and made defensive mistakes.
