Wenger backing Arsenal for top 4 finish

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes his old team can finish in the top four.

The Gunners trail fourth-place Chelsea by ten points after the Blues extended their lead over nearest rivals Tottenham Hotspur with a 2-1 win on Saturday.

Wenger has set a points target he believes would allow his former club to challenge for a top four finish.

"They've all got a chance because it looks like the top three are away from the rest of the league and the rest of the league, teams have moved up and some of the teams in the top six have dropped their level," he told BeIN Sports.

"We have 26 games, after tomorrow's game we have 33 points to go for, if you make 22-25 points, you have a chance."
