Three ways to back your team: Arsenal

Coral traders rate a top-four finish

Sticking with that thought and those still in two minds may find joy in the top-four betting. Remember Arsenal’s form for finishing as a top-four side and remember, again, that they were a single point off achieving it last season, we wouldn’t be so quick to write them off. Has Wenger forgotten how to manage a successful side? Of course not. Has he lost the dressing room? Maybe, but the easiest way to fix that is to sell the doubters and bring in young, talented, ambitious players who want to make an impression in English football. It’s not like Arsene hasn’t done that before. The signing of Alexadre Lacazette from Lyon for £46.5m proves two things – The Gunners are still a draw and the board and willing to put their hand in their pocket. Are you confident Liverpool and Manchester United can battle away in Europe and hold Arsenal off in the league? Our traders make a return to the top-four a 5/6 shot.

400/1 the Arsenal treble

Wenger’s form for finishing in the top-four is impressive, his form in the FA Cup equally so. Few gave them a chance of beating Premier League champions Chelsea at Wembley in the final earlier this year, but they were convincing winners, and are now the tournament’s most successful side on 13 titles. That includes a winners’ medal in three of the last four years. The gaffer knows how to get the best out of his team in the format, and knockout football seems to suit them perfectly. Will this year be any different? It’ll be a brave punter who’ll say they can’t win it, especially at 7/1. OK, is there any Wenger fans out there crazy enough to back the treble? Premier League, EFL Cup, FA Cup – that would be some turnaround. 400/1 is available to believers.
