Before the new Premier League season had begun, Paul Merson said that only one of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur would finish in the top four. The Gunners hero leant towards his old club to finish in a Champions League spot as he felt as though Spurs didn't have a big enough squad to compete in the league and in Europe.
However, after six games of the Premier League campaign, Merson now believes both North London sides will finish in the top four. Both clubs have had stellar starts to the season, with Arsenal top of the table and Spurs just two places behind them and one of just two teams still unbeaten in the league.
Merson was feeling bullish about Chelsea's chances at the start of the season, but he believes Antonio Conte's side will finish in the top four at their expense amid their disappointing start to the campaign and Thomas Tuchel's sacking.
