Arsenal slumped to a 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday – their fourth loss of the season already

Arsenal have lost three of their past four Premier League games, including a 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday.

The Red Devils, meanwhile, are yet to win at Old Trafford in the league with three defeats and one draw but have a 100 per cent record in away games.

When asked if Arsenal’s top four chances were done, Watford striker Deeney said on Monday’s talkSPORT Breakfast: “I think it would be very naïve to say this early in the season that top four was done. This season is crazy.

“You are going to see some unbelievable results you never thought you’d see.

“Who thought we’d see Villa beat Liverpool the way they did, and the way they beat Arsenal in the manner they did.

“I think the top four, personally, will have Spurs, Liverpool, Chelsea and [Man] City. Not in that order.

“I still think Liverpool will win it; City second and then it’s a toss up between Spurs and Chelsea.”

With Ole Gunnar Solskajer’s United absent from his list, talkSPORT host Laura Woods asked: “So Manchester United are nowhere near or have they got fifth?”

Deeney replied: “Woah, I didn’t say that. I just said the top four. Did you see what she’s trying to do there Ally? She’s trying to throw me under the bus.”

Ally McCoist also named his top four and came up with an identical list.

He said: “I have the exact same. I had City winning the league but I did have the option of changing it after the window closed.

“I’ve been so impressed with Liverpool’s signing of Jota and the way he’s started.

“I said City so I’m going to have to stick with that.

“I definitely think the top two will be City and Liverpool. I agree with you – it will be Chelsea and Tottenham.
