Arsenal centre-back Rob Holding believes a top-four finish is on the cards this season.
Unai Emery’s side won 2-1 away to Bournemouth on Sunday, as they came through another Premier League test with flying colours.
The victory keeps Arsenal just a point behind fourth-place Chelsea, and unbeaten in 17 matches, as the league table begins to take shape.
Holding was again impressive at the heart of the defence and he told talkSPORT that securing Champions League football ahead of next season is more than possible:
We’ve had tough games here [Vitality Stadium] and when they scored seconds before half-time we could have put our heads down and came out in the second-half not at it.
We put it behind us though and went again and we have been strong in the second-half this season so we knew we’d get goals.
You’ve got Manchester City and Liverpool at the top who are very strong but if we can keep chipping away and get the points we need then I feel we could be up there [top four].
We never give up and never stop trying but I think tactically we’re stronger and we’re a bit more organised this season.
A mouthwatering north London derby awaits on Sunday afternoon, in another vital league clash.
Arsenal know that a win over Tottenham will take them above their bitter rivals on goal difference.
While Manchester City and Liverpool are looking nailed-on to finish in the top four, there could be a real scrap for the remaining two Champions League places.
