Arsenal are currently leading the race to finish fourth in this season's Premier League campaign.
The Gunners have failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League in each of the last five seasons but find themselves three points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur despite playing one less match than their local rivals. After the ongoing international break, M ikel Arteta 's men have just ten remaining league outings to hold onto their position.
Still, former Arsenal defender Martin Keown claimed that he thinks Spurs will finish above his old side, claiming that the Lillywhites' fixture list is far less challenging. Speaking to BT Sport on Saturday, Keown said: "There’s a lot of games to go, and I still put Spurs as favourites to make it into the top four.

"Arsenal are in the box seat I know, but when you look at the fixtures, games away at Chelsea, Spurs. It’s tough. It’s in Arsenal’s hand and if they keep performing as they are they’ll do it, but it’s a long way to go."
However, the Gunners would finish ahead of third-placed Chelsea if last season's run-in is anything to go by, as per Twitter user: Orbinho. His tweet claims that if teams replicate the number of points they managed in last season's equivalent fixtures, the Gunners would end up in third whilst the Blues would pip Tottenham to fourth.
Arsenal travel to Selhurst Park to take on Patrick Vieira's Crystal Palace in their next match before games against Brighton and Southampton. This is then followed up by an extremely difficult period as they play Chelsea, Manchester United and West Ham.
