Former Chelsea manager gives reason why Arsenal will finish 5th

Former Chelsea manager, Glenn Hoddle in a recent statement has predicted how the season will finish for Arsenal.

According to Hoddle, the Gunners led by Mikel Arteta will finish in the top four positions on the Premier League table.

He added that Arsenal will compete for the EPL in the next two years as he predicted Man City to top the table this season.

As of now, Arsenal are seated on the number one spot, with one point ahead of Man City on the table after winning six of their seven previous matches.

The North London side’s recent win was a credible 3-0 win over Brentford last weekend.

“It’s nicely set up and both will feel they can get a result (against Tottenham). Brentford was a hard game away from home. Zinchenko and Odegaard both came out of the team through injury, yet they came through with flying colours,” Hoddle said (via HITC).

He added, “It was normal. They didn’t miss those two players. I thought they would. They were just functioning the same way and in the same style. Everyone is doing their jobs. It looks like everyone is doing their jobs defensively, whereas I felt they were vulnerable last season.

“They are a group of youngsters that I think could be looking to challenge the league in two years’ time, let alone we all have to beat Manchester City.

“Perhaps not yet, their battle will be getting into the top four. But they have a team and squad that’s going to grow, which is a good sign for Arsenal.”
