Ray Parlour explains why Arsenal may hold advantage over Manchester United in top four race
24.01.2022 - 23:15 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour has shared his thoughts on this season's race for the top four, following Manchester United's late winner against West Ham this weekend.
The Reds scored in the dying seconds against the Hammers on Saturday afternoon, leapfrogging both David Moyes' side and the Gunners, to climb into the top four.
With Arsenal only managing a draw at home to Burnley yesterday afternoon, Ralf Rangnick's side are now one point clear of West Ham with the race firmly on to secure European football this season.
But with United still involved in two other cup competitions, compared to his former club Arsenal, Parlour believes that in itself could prove pivotal come the end of the season.
''With Manchester United scoring late as well, it really is wide open still for quite a few clubs,'' the 48-year-old told TalkSPORT.
''Arsenal have every chance of sneaking in there because other teams have got European football coming up, compared to Arsenal who have no other football.
''They have plenty of rest in between games, so that gives them a little bit more of a chance to get prepared.''
With Mikel Arteta's side held by the Clarets in a stalemate yesterday afternoon, the 'Romford Pele' described how crucial winning games of that kind of calibre can be.
''No disrespect to Burnley you have to be beating sides like that if you're serious about wanting to get into the top four," he added.
"It was a disappointing result for sure.''
