Player Valuation: £50m
There's been lot's of talk about Arsenal having the easier run in than us, but i think they'll drop quite a few points yet. Mainly because they're out of form and lacking confidence, but also because their fixtures could still be a bit tricky.
Home vs West Ham: Arsenal aren't keen on playing physical teams at the best of times but after 120mins in their FA Cup game I honestly think West Ham will be a very difficult game for them.
Away vs Hull: We have Hull to play as well, but Arsenal will certainly be playing them at a more difficult time after 3 games in a week. Hull also have to gain a few more points to secure safety, and if they get through to the final they will want to get a good result in preparation for the final. Also, if they're in the final they'd be likely to rest players against us as their safety should be confirmed by then and they would want to risk key players.
Home vs Newcastle: Looking at Newcastle's form you'd expect this to be an easy fixture, however Newcastles most important player is Remy, without him they're useless. They've managed 1 point in the 8 games he's hasn't played this season. Remy will be back for this fixture and Newcastle will be keen to regain some pride before the end of the season.
Home vs West Brom: West Brom's form has improved massively over the last few weeks as they're clearly digging deep to try to stay up. If they're still in the mix when this fixture is played, then they'll make things very difficult for Arsenal.
Away vs Norwich: Norwich are fighting relegation and if they need a result on the final day of the season then it will be a very tough fixture for Arsenal.
In summary, Arsenal will probably only get a couple of points out of these fixtures and we're 99% certain to finish 4th.
