Having said that, consistently beating the worst teams can get you pretty far.
After the top 3, no one is good. West Ham are "solid," but good might be a stretch. Arsenal can compete with the rest, easily. They could end up like 8th or something still, but they'll be in a fight with ~5 other teams for 4-8.
I'm not super optimistic Arsenal can finish above West Ham/United without getting some reliable FW play. Auba just hasn't been at it, Antonio and Ronaldo have been.
Leicester obviously should have lost the Arsenal game. They were down 2-0 after half an hour, they tested Ramsdale once, then Evans got away with the same red card that City, Newcastle and a few others have got since. It was absurd a rugby tackle as a last man wasn't given as a red and then they don't make the garbage time stats look "even."
