Arsenal's 3-0 away defeat to Crystal Palace missed a chance to return to the top four. After Tottenham's big victory, they overtook Arsenal to the fourth place, and it seems that the battle for the fourth place depends on arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.com.
So what does this game bring us?
1. Scramble for the Four OR North London Derby.
Arsenal's future looked good, but now they've dug themselves a hole. After the match against Crystal Palace, they were tied for points with Tottenham, although they played one less game. With tottenham and Arsenal's North London derby coming in toned up, it's very likely that this derby will prove who can finish fourth.
Spurs have won 5 of their last 6 games and look solid. Arsenal, on the contrary, have lost 2 of their last 3 games. And United's draw means the race for fourth place now looks like it's just a matter of the North London derby.
2. Matta proved his worth.
Matta kicked off the race and went on to prove why Vieira chose him over Benteke and Edward. Benteke was often used as Crystal Palace's main offensive option, while Edward joined from the Celtics in the summer window and enjoyed a high reputation.
Last season's loan player became a permanent player in January. But he showed his predator instincts early in the game. Arsenal have conceded just five set-pieces this season, including Matta's.
3. Defensive dilemmas force a switch?
