Arsenal Debate: Who do you predict with be the Top Four in the EPL in May?

Arsenal has only lost one league game and is one point behind league leader Manchester City with 27 points. That said, is there anyone who does not regard Arsenal as a real title challengers?

Unfortunately, there is always a doubting Thomas, and in this case, it is former Manchester City player Shaun Wright-Philips. We respect Wright-Philips’ prediction that Manchester City would retain the Premier League title. Like him, we Gooners will surely back Arsenal to win the league if asked.

On Manchester City finishing ahead of the Gunners, he said on the Sport Review, “I think City will still win the league.

“Not by a massive margin; it will be another tough one.”

After that, the former Premier League player was asked to predict his top four, and this is where I found his predictions odd. Arsenal fans believe the club will win the league. And if they don’t win, one might assume the worst they’ll finish is second place, considering how determined they are. Interestingly, Wright-Philips believes it is Liverpool who will finish second ahead of Arsenal, who he believes will finish third, with Aston Villa finishing fourth.

“You’ve got to put Arsenal in there. Spurs, I think, have just shown that without certain players, they may not pick up the results they actually need. They’ve lost James Maddison, who is basically the most creative player in the Premier League. Spurs, I think, may just miss out on the top four, Man United too.

“I may put Aston Villa in there as a bit of a dark horse, actually. So I’m going to go Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Aston Villa.”

All in all, predictions are just that: predictions. Like I predict Arsenal will win the league, with Manchester City coming in second and Liverpool coming in third. So, just for a bit of fun, how about you drop your predictions below and we cann all check at end of season…

  1. With deBruynne and Stones coming back from injury soon, I just can’t see beyond City winning yet another title.
    My prediction:
    Man City
    Arsenal
    Liverpool
    Aston Villa

    If Spurs hadn’t lost both Van Der Ven and Maddison to long term injury they would have been my pick for 4th spot instead of Villa.

  2. My predictions at the beginning of the season was :-

    1) Arsenal
    2) Liverpool
    3) Man City
    4) Aston Villa

    But that was base on Ilkay Gundogan and Mahrez leaving with the aging Kevin de Bruyne in decline.

    But with the Citizens showing no signs of slowing down, it is looking pretty much an open race as its stand.

  3. Sorry to buck the trend but this is my prediction (NOT my wish) for the top 4, based on current team line ups, injuries and form, I obviously want Arsenal to be top. Depending on the January transfers, my predictions could very well change.

    Liverpool
    Man City
    Arsenal
    spurs

  4. As of right now i would say
    1 City
    2 Arsenal but much closer than last season
    3 Liverpool not there yet
    4 Spurs

    We know City will kick into a higher gear when KdB returns from injury combined with City usually performing better in the 2nd half of the season but the question is when will we peak. We are only 1 pt behind despite our attack being pretty poor for most of the season for various reasons. At some point our attack will start purring and if we manage to keep our defense tight we can give City a tough fight and even win it.

  5. Arsenal champions, City,Liverpool in whatever order and whoever can grab the fourth spot. static my prediction remains.

  6. Impossible to call
    KDB was one of my all time favourite players but it depends if he still has ‘it’ on his return. It’s so annoying but it really is difficult to look beyond City – because they have been in the habit of winning. They will eventually be knocked off the top slot and I hope it’s in May by us
    My heart says
    Arsenal and the rest of the positions don’t matter to me at all

  7. I DON’T TALK ABOUT THE FURURE!!.

    THE NOW IS WHAT MATTERS!!

    DON’T LOOSE FOCUS!!

    Let’s put our hearts and souls into beating Brentford.

    STEP BY STEP!!

  8. City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs… We would have a really good chance if Harvetz wasn’t starting… He is a big part of the reason we are stuttering in attack this season..

  9. I’ll take Arsenal, City, Liverpool and Chelsea in no particular order mainly because of last season’s pitiful collapse by our guys. Dark horses will be Villa and Brighton. I expect Spurs to slip from the radar once their luck runs out.

  10. I went with City Ars Liv Manu at the beginning of season but hoped that we’d tail City closely before going past them in the final stretch
