For the first time in a few years we have a legitimate title race on our hands, which has meant the usual drama surrounding the top four race has been relegated to the doldrums of our consciousness. But it's certainly starting to heat up now especially with the fixtures yet to come, most notably the North London Derby this weekend. A four way race for two spots, with potentially huge ramifications for each side.
Solksjaer will struggle to keep the job if United fail to make the top four you would think, same goes for Sarri. Missing the top four could further widen the gap between Arsenal and the rest of the top five with another year of not attracting the top talent likely to come due at some point. And it would be nothing short of a disaster for Spurs to miss the Champions League after having being seen as fringe title contenders for the last few months.
If Chelsea, win their game in hand (against Brighton) and Arsenal beat Spurs in the derby then all the teams could be within two points of each other. A truly salivating prospect. At this stage I think it will be Spurs and United who make the top four, but there's nothing really between these four sides. All of a similar class.
