Paul Merson, a former Arsenal player, believes the Gunners currently have the upper hand in the hunt for fourth place.Merson was reacting to his former club's 4-2 victory over Chelsea on Wednesday night.
With six games remaining, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are tied on 57 points.
On May 12, the two North London rivals will meet at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.Both teams play three times before then, with Tottenham visiting Brentford after a 1-0 home loss to Brighton and Arsenal hosting Manchester United.
"I don't think Tottenham will be able to overcome Brentford at home; they're flying at the moment." I know Man United has had a bad season, but who wouldn't want to go to the Emirates and play football on that pitch? Man United are under no pressure, as this is perhaps the first game they've ever played as a team of their stature in which no one expects anything. [For Arsenal], it's a risky game.]"Right now, it's all about time — West Ham away is a tough game, but it's in the middle of Frankfurt." Will every player be rested? "I believe Arsenal has the upper hand," Merson told Sky Sports.
