Arsenal's chances of a top-four finish rests entirely in their hands. If they manage to win their last four games, they will not finish below fourth. And that's where the problem lies for the Gunners. With three of their last four games away from home, Arsenal have a problem on their hands. Arsenal are bound to drop points against Wolves or Leicester or maybe both.

It is their poor away form this season that could cost them a top-four finish. If Unai Emery manages to sort out the defence, then maybe they may stand a chance.

Manchester United (Current position - 6th with 64 points)

After a blistering start under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with ten wins and two draws in the Premier League, Manchester United have been pretty abysmal of late. Three defeats in their last five league games including the 4-0 loss to Everton last weekend, questions have arisen whether Ole is the right man for the job.

With the Manchester derby coming up next, United fans are in a dilemma. A win over City will make sure that they remain in contention for the top-four but it will also hand their arch-rivals Liverpool a huge push for the Premier League title while a loss would break Liverpool hearts but also end United's chances of making it to the final four. So which one United fans?
