EPL: Why We Are Top Four Outsiders – Arsenal Manager

Arsenal manager, Unai Emery, has admitted that it will be difficult for his team to claim the last Champions League spot in the English Premier League (EPL).

The Gunners who are currently sit sixth in the league, three points behind Chelsea in fourth place, will take on Huddersfield on Saturday.

However, Emery has urged his players to keep believing they can finish in the top four.

“There are teams better than us. Are we outsiders now for a top-four finish? Yes, we are sixth. That’s the reality,” Emery said during his Friday press conference.

“We still have to believe we can finish in the top four even while knowing it will be ­difficult for us.

“There’s a big difference between the top three (Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham) and us, but we are a lot closer to Chelsea and Manchester United.

“The gap to the top three is too big but the other two? The possibility to catch them is there because we are only three points ­behind Chelsea and one point behind Manchester United.

“We still have to believe that we can do it.”
