Martin Keown has said on Match of the Day on BBC One (11:26pm, August 20, 2022) that Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal will finish above Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League table this season.

The Arsenal legend believes that both Spurs and the Gunners will end up in the top four of the Premier League table this campaign.

Keown made the comments while analysing Tottenham and Arsenal’s Premier League games on Saturday.

Tottenham won 1-0 against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while Arsenal beat Bournemouth 3-0 away from home at the Vitality Stadium.

Keown said on Match of the Day on BBC One (11:26pm, August 20, 2022): “I think both teams will finish in the top four. Arsenal will just about pip Spurs, at the expense of possibly Chelsea.”

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur for top four?

In our opinion, both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur could end up in the UEFA Champions League places in the Premier League table this season.

The two North London clubs have started the season strongly, and the improvement that they have made from the last campaign is quite evident.

It will not be easy for Arsenal or Tottenham to end up in the top four, though.

Chelsea may not have started the season on fire, but the Blues have a strong team who will challenge for the Premier League title.

Manchester United will eventually come good.
