While Arsenal are still hanging onto the hopes of yet another top four Premier League finish after the recent run of wins continued this week with a 2-0 win over Sunderland at the Emirates, we are still at the mercy of the teams above us in the EPL table.
Manchester City would need to lose away at Watford while we would have to beat Everton and make up the five goal inferior goal difference, all of which is fairly unlikely I think you will agree, but there is a much better chance of pipping Liverpool to fourth place.
The Gunners would still have to win, but with Everton having nothing to play for their form has dropped and I do not think they will be too keen to do their local rivals a favour, so I think we can expect an Arsenal win on Sunday and I am sure that Jurgen Klopp and the Liverpool squad will feel the same way and that puts a whole lot of pressure on the scousers.
They have not always dealt too well with pressure either, so I think their final game at home to Middlesborough could be a tricky one, especially if no early goal comes and the Anfield crowd gets nervous. They will be expected to win and are in pole position for the top four while Arsenal have nothing to lose.
Could this prove to make the difference on judgment day?
