They have performed very well, but it is not over yet for them. Arsenal is a good example for a team that destroys their own performance by dropping so hard. I didn't expect Arsenal to win every single game, but when somebody said that they wouldn't win for four games in a row, ...
Yes, indeed the struggle is not over, moreover, Newcastle's position is still not secure in the third place. There is still Man United who still have 1 game in hand while their pins are only 2 points different. Wouldn't it be quite interesting to see both of them?
If Arsenal are alone, they have lost their chance and fell to second place, replaced by Man City.
From here Newcastle United spot is settled for the top four because now they have five matches left in their campaign and their mostly matches are against weaker sides which can give them good chance for staying into top four like Leeds United, Leicester City and Brighton if they are able to have seven points from these matches then surely things could be amazing with Arsenal and Chelsea are also having not good time which mean all is good for them.
Even many believes Premier League is unpredictable, and we can have surprises, but they already overcome their bad time and now most chances things are favourable, and they can go into top four with Liverpool is already lost their chance for top four like Arsenal lost their chance for the title race.
