Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admitted he is concerned about his side's chase for a top-four finish in the Premier League.
The Gunners failed to reclaim third position as they were held to a 0-0 draw at Sunderland on Sunday and now sit just five points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United.
Regarding the result, Wenger said that a 20th straight season of Champions League football is now in doubt as he strives to rally his inconsistent side to finish the campaign with a trio of much-needed wins.
"Yes, of course. We care about that and we worry about it as well because it's a fight," said Wenger when asked if he was anxious about the situation.
"There are two leagues at the moment: the teams who are taking it a little bit easier - you see some games and you think you would like to play them now, the teams who are safe and are not going for Europe, and then you have the teams who are going for something at the front and the teams who are fighting not to go down, and they are different games.
"It is frustrating because we play to win the title and the fact that we do not win it is of course frustrating, like it is for many other teams."
