Why Arsenal must finish in the top four

Former football star Roy Keane in a recent statement, has said Arsenal must finish in the top four so that every of their effort wouldn’t go to waste this season.

The Gunners are favourite to finish in the top four this season as they are three points ahead of Man Utd and Tottenham, Hotspurs with a game at hand.

Arsenal’s next match will be a London derby against Patrick Vieira’s Crystal Palace on Monday night.

“The next month is going to be vital for Arsenal,” Keane said on Sky Bet’s Overlap show.

“The criticism early in the season, they probably didn’t deserve that, but if they finish fifth or sixth, there will still probably be disappointment for Arsenal.

“That’s the reality. This is the big test for the team over the next two months. For all the plaudits for the last few months, this is crunch time now.

“Come the end of the season, that’s when you really judge teams. If Arsenal finish sixth, I don’t think Arsenal fans will still be saying, ‘it’s a great project, we are all behind it’

“There will be an element of another disappointment if that happens. The next two months are huge.”
