Looking ahead to the remaining fixtures in the Premier League title race, Rio Ferdinand has suggested that Arsenal could find a potential ‘banana skin’ when they face Tottenham Hotspur at the end of this month.
Tottenham will need to bounce back after falling to a catastrophic 4-0 defeat against Newcastle this weekend. The Lilywhites lost ground in the battle for the top four due to the result, with Aston Villa leapfrogging them in the Premier League table.

Aston Villa beat Arsenal thanks to two late goals at the Emirates, putting a huge dent in the Gunners’ title race hopes this weekend.
Mikel Arteta’s side now have a crucial second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich to contend with, before visiting the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 28th. Spurs, meanwhile, will have a two-week break to assess the damage and come up with an action plan.
