Don't be surprised if they end up 3rd or 4th

If Arsenal end up 3rd or 4th, it's inconsequential because what is is only important to them is appearing at the champions league next season which is already settle no matter what the outcome of their remain match is. Arsenal have been consistent in qualifying for the champions league and this year is just like other years which they always perform as usual.
If Arsenal can put themselves together and start getting serious, they have all it takes to win the Premier League and even the champions league.
The only reason I won’t be surprised is because they are already sure of champions league football so qualifying in 3rd or 4th position wouldn’t really matter anyway but I am sure they will finish in second place ahead of other teams following behind in the race for top four. They have just Newcastle and Southampton to play. Newcastle is a win or draw game and Southampton a win.
Arsenal has already qualified for the champions League competition next season no doubt but there is a big difference between them finishing 2nd and 3rd position in the league which is why they need to defeat Newcastle United in their next match before playing against the bottom place team Southampton. The record will have it that 2024/2025 season Arsenal finished 2nd, even though there will be no additional bonus attached to it but history will never forget this record.
Newcastle United is a strong opposition but Arsenal should hope for a draw of they can't win but against Southampton that held Manchester City to a goal less draw Arsenal needs to take 3 points from them.
Finishing second or not do not mean anything except they will have to allocate an award for the second position of which it won't even make any sense because the target is to win the title. Arsenal have only succeeded in finishing second for about 3 seasons and it seems they are very much comfortable in ending second, but they should try and remove that mentality of only settling for second position.
Arsenal match against Newcastle will definitely end in a draw or Newcastle even win them in order to confirm their spot in the Champions League but it will also be bad of Arsenal to go 4 matches in the premier league without a win so they really need to win so that they can also solidify their stand in the second position. Even though Southampton have been relegated but they can still prove stubborn when they meet Arsenal so don't be too confident that Arsenal will win them.
