Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says keeping hold of third place will be difficult.

They supplanted Tottenham in third place with their 1-0 victory over Everton on Wednesday night and Wenger believes the battle for Champions League football is intensifying.

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

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