Arsenal Drift In Pursuit Of Top 4 FInish

In Arsene They Trust?

A draw at Bolton saw the Gunners slip down to seventh in the league and lengthen in the betting for a top-4 finish.

After a fourth game without a win, Arsene Wenger issued a rallying call to his men - now they have to treat every game “like a cup final”. So expect a calamitous misunderstanding between Laurent Koscielny and Wojciech Szczesny every match then.

These are worrying times at the Emirates, Arsenal are 3/1 (Bet365) to finish in the top-4, anything else would be a disaster for the club, admitted Wenger. The one crumb of comfort is that Chelsea and Liverpool seem to be stumbling over themselves in pursuit of the same goal, meaning the gap between 4th and 7th in the league is only five points.

Arsenal bounced back from an equally poor run at the start of the season, but even the most optimistic fan is struggling to see light at the end of the tunnel. The Gunners are 11/2 (Boylesports) to win the FA Cup and 25/1 (BetVictor) to win the Champions League for those keeping the faith.
