Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Former England striker Darren Bent has slammed Manchester United and Tottenham for being inconsistent, a situation that has allowed Arsenal to still be in contention for top-four finish this season.<\/p>\n

Bent noted that the only reason Arsenal are still hopeful of qualifying for Champions League next season was because Manchester United had Tottenham have shown inconsistency week in week out.<\/p>\n

Arsenal and Tottenham both lost their matches on Saturday to Brighton and Southampton respectively.<\/p>\n

Few weeks ago, Arsenal were tipped to grab the Champions League final spot following an impressive run of results, having started the season poorly.<\/p>\n

But they have lost three straight matches and are now sixth in the table with just three points separating the Gunners, Manchester United and Tottenham.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t rule Arsenal out because as we\u2019ve seen, the teams around them are inconsistent. Spurs are inconsistent, so are United,\u201d Bent told Premier League Productions.<\/p>\n

\u201cArsenal have still got the opportunity but they need to find some consistent form from somewhere. You can\u2019t be losing three games in a row.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter that run they shouldn\u2019t really be anywhere near it but the fact is they are because the race for the top-four has been so poor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen that Tottenham are capable of going on a run and I expect them to do that. It\u2019s still in Spurs\u2019 hands because Arsenal and United are so inconsistent.\u201d<\/p>\n
