Jamie Carragher has claimed that Arsenal can send a message to their top four rivals by beating Crystal Palace on Monday night. Mikel Arteta’s side relinquished fourth spot in the Premier League after Tottenham thumped Newcastle 5-1 on Sunday.
However, a draw or a win for the Gunners would see them reclaim the coveted final Champions League spot with a game in hand over their north London rivals. West Ham also closed the gap on Arsenal to three points thanks to their 2-1 win over Everton, however, they’ve played three more games.
Manchester United could only muster a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester City but still remain in the hunt for fourth spot. And Carragher believes Arteta’s side can lay down a real marker in the race for Champions League football by winning at Selhurst Park.
