No-one is guarantee a place in the top-four, according to
Arsène Wenger.
Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea appear so often
in the Champions League spots that they have become known as
"The Top Four". The last side to break into that quartet
was Everton in 2005 who knocked their city rivals Liverpool down to
fifth place. However Rafa Benitez' side still managed to win a
seat at Europe's top table by winning the Champions League
against Milan on penalties.
Still his Arsenal counterpart argues this seemingly impregnable
position is under-threat this season by a number of emerging clubs.
"It is not guaranteed for everybody," said Wenger.
"Teams like Villa and Man City who are doing well, Everton and
Portsmouth can fight to be in the top four too. It is becoming more
and more interesting for the teams moving up."
