The verdict: Based on their current points total and game in hand, there is no denying Arsenal are the favourites to clinch a place in the Champions League for next season. However, the Gunners have some tricky fixtures to come against Chelsea, United and Tottenham. United also have to meet bitter rivals Liverpool. On paper, Tottenham may appear to have the most favourable run-in, but there is work to be done there to claw back the deficit extended by this month's dramatic defeat to United.
