#5 ARSENAL F.C
Unai Emery's men have been the surprise of the season. Consecutive losses at the start of the season made everyone assume it will be a long season. They have been brilliant since their loss to Chelsea and have gone on a run that equals their best unbeaten run since 2007.
Patience would be key in waiting for the fruits of the Emery era to sprout. The transfer window would also be vital in shaping the side to Emery's image.
Considering how well Arsenal have played this season, they will be gutted to miss out on a place in the top four. However, it should not be considered a disastrous season if they don't make it. A top four place, a domestic cup run and at least a semifinal berth in the UEFA Europa league should be considered a great season for them.
#6 MANCHESTER UNITED
The Red devils have had a terrible season. From the start of pre-season, it has been crisis upon crisis upon crisis. They have gone from 'the best of the rest' last season to the 'worst of them all' this season. They are languishing in 8th place and 18 points behind pace setters City by matchday 15.
At the start of the season, they were among the early favourites. Now they are so far off the pace. A successful season for a club of United's stature has to involve a top four finish, a domestic cup triumph and qualification to the latter stages of the champions league. Whether they can achieve any of this goals is anyone's guess.
