Arsenal told they ‘will slip up’ as pundit explains why Tottenham top-four finish is nailed on

Tottenham will pip north London rivals Arsenal in the derby and consequently win the battle for a top-four Premier League finish, according to Jamie O’Hara.

The two sides have become the clear frontrunners to take the final place in the top four alongside Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea. Manchester United, West Ham and Wolves also fancied their chances earlier in the season. However, the trio have now dropped off.

As a result, Spurs and Arsenal are fighting to secure Champions League football for next season.

They both have four games left, including a huge north London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

And according to pundit O’Hara, both teams will slip up along the way. However, he insisted that Tottenham‘s experience will see them past Mikel Arteta’s side.

“I think that Spurs are going to nick it,” O’Hara told talkSPORT.

“We’ve got to get through Liverpool which is a tough fixture and I’ll be surprised if we get anything from that. But both Arsenal and Tottenham are where they are because they have inconsistent performances.

“If we’re talking about winning all of our games between now and the end of the season, we’d be like Chelsea and Liverpool.

“We’ll slip up and Arsenal will slip up. We’ve got the north London derby which will be the biggest north London derby in recent times and that is a huge, huge fixture.

“I just fancy us, under the lights with the players that we’ve got and the front three that we’ve got. If we step up I think we can turn them over, I really do.”

Arsenal had a poor start to the season and sat bottom after three games with no points. Still, boss Arteta oversaw a resurgence and a top-four finish would prove a massive moment for the Spaniard.

Tottenham, meanwhile, changed managers
