The Race For The Champions League

Well isn't the race for the fourth Champions League place getting close? Today I will be looking at the three possible candidates to finish 4th.

Arsenal: Arsenal were tipped by many to win the Premier League tittle this season with things going terribly wrong. The month of March has been very rewarding for Arsenal with the exception of the AS Roma result.

With two wins each in the FA Cup and in the Premier League it looks as though they might have hit top form at just about the right time of the season. Eduardo coming back from injury has helped them a lot so it will be interesting how they play for the remainder of the season.

Aston Villa: I wonder if anyone was expecting Aston Villa to challenge for the Champions League places but that's what is happening at the moment. Martin O'Neill has done wonderfully with the squad he has had, bringing in quality players like James Milner and Emile Heskey. The month of March has not served Aston Villa very well with them only picking up one point from a possible nine. With Liverpool, Manchester United and Everton to go things are not going to get any easier for Aston Villa.

Everton: Although four points off the pace, Everton have been one of the most consistent sides in the Premier League this season. Many people did put Everton down as contenders for the fourth Champions League place, but the beginning of the season was horrible for them.

But luckily enough Everton have found confidence and are going very strongly at the moment. Bringing in Marouane Fellaini has worked wonders for the club with his goals and just keeps getting better. March has seen Everton pick up four points from a possible six and an impresive 2-1 come from behind victory against Middlesbrough.

Conclusion: Although I think it will be interesting to see what happens I have to say that Arsenal will be the team that finish in fourth position followed by Everton and then Aston Villa.

4th Arsenal
5th Everton
6th Aston Villa
