Former Arsenal playmaker Paul Merson has declared the his former side's rivals Tottenham Hotspur favourites in the battle for the fourth Champions League spot.
The Gunners lost convincingly away at Crystal Palace on Monday night with Merson declaring the loss a 'rough, rough night' for Arsenal.
Having beaten Newcastle United at home on Sunday, Spurs would have been watching attentively at what Arsenal did at Selhurst Park the next night.
Merson believes Monday's performance showed a weaker side to Arsenal and because of that he now believes Spurs are favourites for the final top four place.
