Rio Ferdinand believes things are set to get worse for Arsenal in this season’s race for the top four ahead of a crucial couple of games.
The Gunners have suffered a nightmare few weeks in their pursuit of fourth. Having led the way in the race ahead of Manchester United and Tottenham, Mike Arteta’s side now find themselves lagging behind after three straight defeats.
Having looked well set to claim the coveted final Champions League spot, Arsenal now find themselves three points off the pace, having lost to Crystal Palace, Brighton and Southampton in successive weeks. Their slip-ups have helped bring United back into the running for fourth, while Spurs now hold a three-point advantage over their north London rivals.
