Here and now, thirteen years after Arsenal’s media christening as the Invincibles, it is very much Tottenham Hotspur that presently appear to be the “invincible” club of North London.
The final whistle in Tottenham’s effortless 4-0 demolition of Watford on 8 April represented a sixth consecutive league win for Mauricio Pochettino’s second-placed squad. Remarkably, Tottenham have now lost only once in sixteen league games.
Manchester United are reportedly considering to sell midfielder Adnan Januzaj this summer after a disappointing loan spell at Sunderland, according to the Daily Mail.

Chelsea star N’Golo Kante has allegedly emerged as a summer transfer target for the Spanish giants Real Madrid, according to French news outlet Le 10 Sport as quoted by The Sun.

Arsenal managed to claim all three points and keep their top four ambitions alive after a convincing 3-0 win over West HamUnited at Emirates on Wednesday night, with Liverpool, Manchester United, Everton and Manchester City all dropping points.
It was the Gunners first Premier League win since beating Hull City on 11th February after a series of disappointing losses to Liverpool and West Bromwich Albion, among the 10-2 aggregate loss in the Champions League at the hands of Bayern Munich. The poor form saw Arsenal drop out of the top four and down to sixth, with NetBet placing them at 3.80 to finish inside the top four.
After a poor spell of form, critics have been quick to once again pounce on Arsene Wenger’s failings. Sky Sports’ Paul Merson has gone as far as to say that if Arsenal lose out to Manchester United or Liverpool in the top four race, it may be time for him to walk. This is a bold statement, and people should not be too quick to write off the Gunners. There is still a long way to go in this campaign.
