Arshavin urges Arsenal to just focus on top four finish

Andrey Arshavin says Arsenal should worry more about finishing in the top four, rather than talk about winning the league.

Arshavin said: "If we win all remaining eight matches we still have a chance to win the Premier League. We'll be trying to do it - but only life will show how realistic it is for us.

"Liverpool played fantastic football recently but it is Manchester United who are the most likely winners of the title. The only club who can prevent it from happening is Chelsea.

"The fight to stay in the first four is far from over for us. Aston Villa had a bad run - but they were playing all the leaders which Arsenal are only now going to do.

"I think (Gunners manager) Arsene Wenger is absolutely right when he keeps telling us that the most important match is always the next one and that we should concentrate on each coming game. It is vital for Arsenal not to miss out on the Champions League next season.

"To succeed in the current Champions League campaign is very important - but we also shouldn't miss it next season. I believe all my team-mates realise that."
