Who could stop us finishing 4th? Personally I worry about Wolves, they are quietly sneaking up the table, they don't concede goals and Jimenez has started scoring again after his terrible injury. They have no European games to worry about and no other distractions apart from the FA Cup, where they have a gimme to the next round, a home draw vs Norwich.

Man United. Far and away the strongest squad of the contenders if they manage to get their act together.

Since that first 3 games, Arsenal has been in excellent form and they are very hard to beat, they are stronger than Tottenham and Man Utd and they has been in top form since. Can't see anyone stopping them winning

Tottenham is 2nd to Arsenal due to their new manager, Conte which I felt Tottenham are cheating because Nuno ES was named as Manager in June and won their first 3 games then a blip and they should have kept him!!! Felt disgusted for what the did to Nuno.

I chose Arsenal. No European or domestic cup football to distract them. Their home form is pretty mustard. If they can get over their current blip of missing players for various reasons I see them as very strong contenders for 4th

No European Football and their youngsters are beginning to gel has a team.

With Spurs,Man U and us,it may depends what happens in the transfer window.

I might’ve forgotten about that thanks Tel. Only 2 games left though if they manage to get to the final, and I think they got a decent chance with the return leg at home.

Arsenal for me. A team full of young gifted talent, who on there day can compete with the very best. Thank heavens Xhaka keeps imploding. 😂

My aspirations won't be be be shattered by any of them. Question would be more relevant, well easier to answer were games played even, as it stands the team more likely to finish 4th have games in hand and are racking more up as I speak.

They do have and they aren't, which is good news all round.

Arsenal are probably favourites but blow hot and cold so could easily go on another run of poor form, and Spurs whilst not losing a Prem game under Conte look far from putting a consistent run together as well.
