Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Arsenal legend Paul Merson has made his top four prediction ahead of Manchester United\u2019s game against Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

According to the former Premier League star Newcastle and Man United have already secured their place in the Premier League top four.<\/p>\n

Arsenal and Manchester City have officially made the top four in the Premier League, table this season after the last round of matches.<\/p>\n

This means that there are still two more spaces up for grabs.<\/p>\n

Newcastle are currently in third place while United occupy the fourth-place with both teams at least six points clear of Tottenham in fifth having played fewer games.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa, Liverpool and Brighton all still vying for a coveted top four slot.<\/p>\n

Merson told Sportskeeda: \u201cVilla trail United by six points in the table. But Manchester United have two games in hand over them. Personally, I think United have booked a berth in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

\u201cNewcastle did go through a dip in form but have now won seven out of their last eight games. Southampton don\u2019t stand a chance against this high-flying Newcastle team.\u201d<\/p>\n
