Top-four race is far from over and Arsenal can still claim a Champions League spot

Arsenal have dropped out of the top four and it is no longer in our hands, but that in no way means we will not finish in one of the remaining two Champions League places.

It is a huge leap of faith, even for Chelsea fans, to assume they will win both their last two Premier League games, same can be said of Man Utd and Tottenham as well.

Remember what has happened over the last couple of weeks, all the teams fighting for one of the two remaining spots have suffered shocking losses or dropped points at crucial moments, and there is no reason at all to assume that all of a sudden Chelsea will win two in a row or Spurs will.

We had the easiest run in and look at what happened, and do not forget that Chelsea is playing two teams fighting like mad to finish in seventh and claim a Europa League spot.

It could be argued that it is now United that has the easiest run-in, especially with us, Chelsea and Spurs heavily involved in European competition.

Of course, Chelsea is capable of winning their remaining games and so are all our rivals but the evidence points to the opposite and there are still twists and turns left in this sorry race for Champions League qualification.

I am going out on a limb here and will predict we will claim one of those spots and a win over Valencia on Thursday for me, will be the catalyst to an end of season winning run.
