Arsenal not fancied for perfect finish
ARSENE WENGER has targeted Arsenal with winning their remaining five Premier League matches of the season but bookmakers believe that task will prove beyond the Gunners.
Bet365 rate the FA Cup finalists 13-2 to win all of their fixtures and Tuesday’s clash with West Ham is followed by dates against Hull (away), Newcastle (home), West Brom (home) and Norwich (away).
Arsenal, despite having their Champions League qualification destiny out of their own hands, are 8-11 favourites to finish in the top four with Everton at 5-4.
Failure to make Europe’s elite competition could see Wenger question his own future with the north London outfit and Paddy Power are betting on his successor with Jurgen Klopp and Louis van Gaal the tentative 10-1 joint-favourites.
While Arsenal concern themselves with a battle for the top four, leaders Liverpool are aiming much higher with the Reds four matches away from securing the championship.
Coral make the Merseysiders 8-11 to finish unbeaten in their remaining matches and they are 2-5 with Ladbrokes to win at Norwich on Sunday.
