Jack Wilshere explains why Arsenal could finish in top-four this season

Arsenal has a real chance of finishing in the top four.

The Gunners’ unbeaten run came to end after Liverpool thrashed 3-0 at Anfield this weekend.

It seems like this season would be a three-way battle for the Premier League crown between Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City.

After a turbulent start to the season, Arsenal looks impressive and former player Jack Wilshere believes they could challenge for top-four for the first time since 2016.

He said on Sky Sports: “Without stating the obvious it goes down to the big three and that’s what gives Arsenal a real chance for top four because nobody is making a real run for it at the moment.

“In terms of the title race I hope Chelsea pull too far ahead but Liverpool and City are both top top teams and there won’t be many games where they will drop points.

“We can’t get carried away and the manager talks about the progress and they’re still on that journey and sometimes with young players you don’t get consistency.

“1-0 at Anfield isn’t a bad place to be but they changed something and pressed higher and it made it a lot more difficult for Arsenal.

“They tried to stick to the game plan but Liverpool made that too difficult. For all the Arsenal fans if you said you’d be 5th at this stage especially after the start of the season we’d have taken it.”
