Who will clinch the final Champions League place in the Premier League?

Claiming a spot in the top 4 of the Premier League at the end of the season is very much the promised land for most teams in the division.

Qualifying for the Champions League can have huge financial ramifications for sides and the clamour to finish in the top 4 is often one of the key narratives of any Premier League season.

Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea all look to have their respective places in the top 4 wrapped up this term, as they challenge for higher honours, leaving a whole host of sides scrapping for a place in the top 4.

Despite being one of English football’s oldest and most successful clubs, it has been a barren recent spell for Arsenal.

Having not competed in the Champions League since 2017, the Emirates has been bereft of top level European football and despite a few runs in the Europa League, the Gunners have dropped off the pace both domestically and on the continent.

Not since the end of the Arsene Wenger reign have Arsenal been mixing it with the big boys in the Champions League but under Mikel Arteta this term, the sense of optimism in North London appears to be growing.

With plenty of pundits and those in the know working in the game getting behind the work Arteta is doing at the Emirates and with some excellent recent results in the tank, Arsenal are starting to find form at potentially the right time.

As mentioned, Mikel Arteta has finally got Arsenal playing the type of football the Gunners fans want to see and the results are slowly starting to turn the Spaniard’s way too.

They have the advantage of not having to play European football this season, which could ultimately be very useful, and their young squad is purring.

At 2/1, they are on the periphery of a top 4 finish this season and it would be a seriously big statement if Champions League football returned to the Emirates Stadium, the UK betting aggregator BritishGambler reports.

Due to a recent resurgence, Tottenham are now in the box seat for a top 4 finish under Antonio Conte and they are currently sat inside the top 4.

They have a three point lead over Arsenal (having played a game more) but have their fate in their own hands, something that has turned on its head in recent weeks.

Inconsistency has plagued their season this term but at 2/5, Spurs are definitely the side to catch in the race for Champions League football this year.

Ralf Rangnick has endured a tough tenure as Manchester United manager, but they have plenty of world class players in their squad that could come good at any moment.

Things aren’t going too well at Old Trafford currently and some terrible results of late have left them with plenty of work to do but they could still end up in the top quadrant of the league come the end of the campaign and are currently 16/1 to do so.

The proverbial jokers in the pack are West Ham and Wolves, who have both had superb seasons thus far.

Coming in at 40/1 and 75/1 respectively, both sides do look to have their work cut out somewhat, but they are both full of confidence and should well be in the top 4 mix come May 22^nd.
