Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are currently in a real scrap for third place.
Jermaine Jenas shared his belief that Tottenham will qualify for the Champions League ahead of Arsenal this season, as quoted by the Daily Star.
The Gunners currently sit in third spot in the Premier League table, two points clear fo fourth placed Spurs and fifth placed Manchester United with just seven games remaining this season.
Tottenham are currently in the midst of a woeful run of form, having taken just one point from their last five league games, whilst Arsenal are on fire, and have not lost a Premier League game since February 3rd.
This season’s race for the Champions League will likely go right down to the last game, and whilst Arsenal seem to be in a great position, Jenas believes that Tottenham will usurp their bitter rivals once again, as quoted by the Daily Star:
“I think it is as tough as it gets for Arsenal away from home. In terms of the places they are going to and what they are fighting for, it is hard. That is my reasoning personally why I don’t think Arsenal will finish in the top four. For Tottenham, yes the new stadium there may be teething problems but I think that home form might just help them. I still think it will be Manchester United with Tottenham.”
Tottenham might just hold a slight advantage over Arsenal, considering the fact that five of Unai Emery’s side’s last seven games are away from home.
Spurs are also moving into their new stadium tomorrow night, and Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping that that gives his side the boost that they need, as they head into the final stretch.
