Former Chelsea boss says Arsenal has an advantage of finishing in the top four

Former Chelsea and now Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has said Arsenal has an advantage of finishing in the top four In the EPL ahead of his side.

This comes after Tottenham defeated West Ham United 3-1 on Sunday as they managed to close in on the Gunners.

As of now, Arsenal, led by Mikel Arteta as coach, are currently at fourth place in the Premier League and are three points ahead of Spurs, who have played one game more.

The Hotspurs will face Arsenal later on in the season in a match that could determine which of them would get a spot in the UEFA Champions League for next season.

Conte, however, believes the Gunners already have a ‘good advantage’ over Spurs.

“The only way to put pressure on Arsenal is to get three points to win,” Conte said after Spurs beat West Ham.

“For sure they [Arsenal] have a good advantage, also especially because they’ve been working with the same coach for many years and they’ve had many transfer markets with the same coach.

“Maybe they are at this moment more ready than us.”
