Ray Parlour predicts where Arsenal will finish this season
Ray Parlour says that Arsenal can forget about finishing in the top four this season
Ray Parlour says Arsenal have no hope of finishing in the top four this season.
The north London side have been in stuttering form in the Premier League this term and their lack of consistency has caused them to drop out of the top four.
The Gunners are currently in sixth place in the Premier League table and 10 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur with 11 games left to play this term.
It seems increasingly likely that the north London side will miss out on a place in the top four for the second season running after they ended up in fifth place last season.
Arsenal will attempt to get their campaign back on track when they host runaway leaders Manchester City at The Emirates on Thursday night.
However, Parlour believes that it’s highly unlikely that the north London side will make the top four this season, leaving winning the Europa League as their last remaining hope of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
Speaking on The Debate on Sky Sports, Parlour said:
“They are not going to get in the top four. They are only playing for the Europa League. It is more or less impossible to get in the top four.
“Europa League is their last hope of getting Champions League football. If they miss it again, it will be a disaster. The other teams will get stronger.”
Arsenal have not won the Premier League title since their famous unbeaten triumph in the 2003-04 campaign, when they were still playing their home games at Highbury.
