Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has dismissed claims their top four status is under threat.
Arsenal face Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium a week tomorrow. Arsene Wenger's side are fourth in the Barclays Premier League, Spurs are third.
Hill-Wood has seen his free-spending north London neighbours start to mount a threat to the "big four", along with Manchester City and Aston Villa.
However, he said: "We haven't got $500 billion to put into the club, but I suspect that we will be challenging - but I don't consider Tottenham and Aston Villa rivals.
"I am very confident and any worries about Champions League income are unlikely to be the case."
