Former Manchester City star Nigel de Jong has claimed that Arsenal and Tottenham could both finish this season in the top four at Chelsea’s expense. The Blues’ shock 1-0 defeat at relegation-threatened Everton on Sunday has seen them slip back into the Champions League race.
Arsenal battled to a 2-1 win at West Ham and Spurs also saw off Leicester on Sunday. The weekend’s results left the third-placed Blues just three points clear of the Gunners in fourth and five ahead of Antonio Conte’s side.
All three teams have four games remaining but Chelsea are in the worst form, having won just two of their last six Premier League games. And De Jong believes the west London outfit are at risk of finishing outside of the top four if they don’t arrest their recent slump.
