Spurs are currently in the third spot level on points with Chelsea but with a game at hand. Arsenal are only a point behind after Sunday’s 2-3 home defeat against Crystal Palace.
The race for the Champions League qualification has been the most competitive this season than it has been for quite some time. Manchester United now find themselves 3 points behind the fourth spot but there is no telling if they will be able to catch up.
Carragher told Sky Sports, “If Chelsea would have got those extra two points there would have been a huge deficit, certainly for Manchester United being five points behind (in that scenario).
“United have a game but it’s Man City at home so it’s not easy. I still think Spurs are there. I look at that now and a lot is riding on Man United vs Chelsea.
“If Man United come out of this week with four points it’s great for them. The vital game is the one against United for Chelsea. I keep changing my mind on who will get in but not on Spurs.”
Now, Arsenal have proven to be a quality home side but their away record is quite different. They squeezed out a 0-1 win over Watford at Vicarage Road but could not get rid of the lowly Eagles last weekend.
The following games against Wolves, Leicester City and Burnley away from the Emirates will be a massive challenge for Unai Emery and his men.
