Manchester United legend Roy Keane has admitted that he has been extremely impressed with Arsenal's turnaround in recent weeks.
The Gunners lost all of their first three Premier League outings, with some fans even calling for Mikel Arteta to be sacked following the 5-0 loss to Manchester City back in August.
However, the north London outfit have since steadied the ship and have gone on to win 14 of the next 21 league games and now sit just two points behind fourth-placed Manchester United with three games in hand on the Red Devils.
The aforementioned Keane has now heaped praise on Mikel Arteta's side, claiming that their 2-1 injury-time victory against Wolves last month was crucial in their quest for UEFA Champions League qualification.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "It’s been an amazing turnaround considering where they were at the start of the season, and now they’re probably favourites to finish in the top four.
"We’ve always questioned whether there’s a bit of softness to them but they’re in a good moment and they’ve always had that quality.
"Against Wolves they found a way to win the football match, they kept going and grabbed a late goal, that’s the key to success, you can have your off days but you find a way to win and it was a huge three points for them."
Arteta has also admitted that today's match against Watford is a must-win if they want to finish in the top four.
Speaking pre-match, the Spaniard said: "Every week is an opportunity, we need to make the most of our matches and put in good performances to earn the wins we need."
