Arsenal's Wenger: Newcastle, Tottenham, Chelsea all in with top-four chance but not Liverpool

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes four clubs can still slot into third and fourth positions on the Premier League table this season.

The Gunners currently hold third spot, which gives them a clear path into the Champions League, but is aware that there is a race to be run with nine matches to be played.

Tottenham are fourth and a point behind Arsenal, Chelsea sit fifth a further five points in arrears and then come Newcastle United back a further two with the Frenchman basically ruling out seventh-placed Liverpool who are 13 points off his side.

"Third is better than fourth, but if you have no choice, you take fourth and the opportunity. Let's see how it goes now," Wenger said regarding the Champions League positions.

"I believe Newcastle are still in the fight, as are Tottenham and Chelsea. Liverpool are maybe too far off, but you never know."
