# Rob Holding says Arsenal can finish in the top four this season

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](https://talksport.com/football/451314/bournemouth-arsenal-rob-holding-praises-character-backs-gunners-challenge-top-four/)* 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.
