Arsenal go into their next game in a superb run of form however with their destiny currently out of their own hands they could find themselves a point behind top four rivals Tottenham by the time they kick-off. Tottenham line up on Saturday against a Southampton team needing a win to be mathematically safe from relegation however a point would probably do so Spurs should expect a tough match.

Arsenal's rivals for the top four don't have easy run-ins and Arsenal's destiny may be back in their hands by 5pm on Saturday. With Chelsea facing off with champions Manchester United before taking on Spurs in midweek the race for the top four couldn't be more exciting. Another exciting race this weekend is the Kentucky Derby and a bet on the Kentucky Derby adds to the excitement of the football this weekend. We're going for Verrazano, Spurs draw, Chelsea loss and an Arsenal win.

Arsenal go into their next off the back of two 1-nil wins and in high spirits after their resilient defensive display against Sunderland. Depsite going down to 10 men, Arsenal showed a mental resolve and level of concentration much missed in recent years to see the game out.

Wenger's lads are still on course for a top-four finish still trailing the chokers by only four points. Arsenal may not be odds on for a top four finish but they are favourites with the bookmakers to beat Villa and if they keep racking up wins those top four odds will soon be sliced.
