Martin Keown and Joe Cole disagree on Arsenal and Tottenham prediction after Aston Villa win

Martin Keown and Joe Cole have disagreed on what they believe the outcome will be in the Premier League top four race after Arsenal's latest victory against Aston Villa.

Mikel Arteta's side bounced back from their midweek set back against Liverpool courtesy of a first half Bukayo Saka strike that separated the two sides at Villa Park in Saturday's early kick off. A resilient defensive performance from the midfield axis of Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka provided the right cover for both Ben White and Gabriel to thwart the likes of Philippe Coutinho and Ollie Watkins to ensure the points headed back to north London.

It's a three points which felt massively significant as demonstrated by the way the players celebrated at full-time with the loyal travelling Gunners fan base, who are once again dreaming of Champions League football. The red side of North London now sit four points clear of Ralf Rangnick's inconsistent Man United outfit who currently occupy the fifth place position, while one of Spurs and West Ham can increase the pressure on the sides above of them when they face each other on Sunday.
