Man Utd, Arsenal or Chelsea? David Moyes makes bold Premier League top four prediction
MANCHESTER UNITED will struggle to finish in the Premier League top four this season.
Man United wrong to appoint Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says expert
That’s according to former Red Devils boss David Moyes who believes Arsenal and Chelsea will finish above Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
Manchester United were hammered 4-0 by Everton yesterday as Solskjaer was forced to apologise on the behalf of his players.
But Arsenal also suffered a defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace.
Chelsea can therefore go up to third if they beat Burnley at Stamford Bridge tonight in the Premier League.
And Moyes thinks Maurizio Sarri’s side could well qualify for the Champions League by finishing in the top four.
"I think the outsiders would be Manchester United at the moment," Moyes told Flow Sports.
"If I was pushed I would probably go for Arsenal, I think they might just make it with the games they’ve got.
"But I couldn’t be sure because Arsenal are inconsistent as well.
Man Utd should only keep their BEST players says Burley
"I think Chelsea will be there or thereabouts but I don’t know if they look like they’ve set their sights on the Europa League final, trying to get through and winning it as a way to get to the Champions League.
"Arsenal have done remarkably well, but that’s what we’re saying about United as well, so have United in the last three months, done remarkably well.
"I think that it’s just so difficult to call.
"But Arsenal at home, the only reason I where would say it wouldn’t be is because when Arsenal are away from home.
"I saw their performance against Everton [at Goodison Park], it was really poor.
"But I think Arsenal, where they are, might be the ones to make it."
United return to action on Wednesday when they take on arch-rivals Manchester City at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils know nothing less than a victory will do if they want to play Champions League football next season.
Arsenal are next in action against Wolves at the same time as the Manchester derby on Wednesday.
