Gary Neville believes Arsenal scintillating form will be concerning their top-four rivals Chelsea and Tottenham.
The Gunners were magnificent in their 4-2 win over Spurs on Sunday afternoon, taking their unbeaten run to 19 matches, in all competitions.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Neville says Unai Emery’s side have defied expectations and will now have their rivals keeping a close eye on them:
There’s a real scrap on now [for a top-four finish].
I thought Arsenal would really struggle to get into the top four, even this morning I thought the next four days would catch them out and would show their limits.
This [the win over Tottenham] puts them right in the mix because the of confidence and belief they will get out of this game.
Manchester City and Liverpool are the outstanding two teams and I think they will finish in the top four, but Chelsea and Tottenham will be looking over their shoulder.
Arsenal were expected to miss out on Champions League qualification this season, as a transitional period under Emery got underway.
Their thrilling victory over Spurs put them ahead of their north London rivals on goal difference, however, while Chelsea are only a point clear.
The Gunners travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United on Wednesday night – a ground they have famously struggled at in recent years.
Another win would really enhance their top-four hopes.
