The 2022-23 season has started on an exciting note, and it hasn’t been without a lot of drama.
Arsenal currently top the league after six round of matches, while Manchester City are in 2nd place, level on points with Tottenham who are 3rd in the league.
With Brighton in 4th, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are currently outside a top four place.
Former Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips has admitted he’s pleased with the start made by the Gunners and doesn’t see them dropping outside the top four.
Wright-Phillips also believes Liverpool will finish in a Champions League place, and said the remaining slot for top four would be between Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham.
Wright-Phillips told Metro.co.uk: “I was impressed by Arsenal last year and this season they’re just topping it off with consistent performances.
“Last season when they were down in the bottom half, they had a lot of criticism come their way, but they stuck to their guns and Arteta kept playing the football he knows and how he wants them to play.
“In the end Arsenal fans were gutted because they didn’t make the Champions League, but what they achieved last year to get into that position was fantastic.
“Now they’ve built on that with the signings they’ve made with the likes of [Gabriel] Jesus and [Oleksandr] Zinchenko coming in as well as [Fabio] Viera who’s coming back to fitness, they’re massive additions.
“That’s going to be very important to them when it comes to the end of the season and if they can keep that consistency up, that will be a spot in the top four gone.
“Then it comes down to Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur fighting for that last spot.
“I don’t see Liverpool dropping out of there in all honesty, once they get up and running, have all their players fit then they’ll get back to the way we’re used to seeing.
“I still think they’ll be hard to stop and of course Manchester City are playing the way they’re playing and with that added striker I can’t see any other spaces becoming available.”
