“That is our target now, it is to secure a position in the Champions League next year. If possible, to get in the second place and at least secure the third place, and on Sunday we can achieve that. Overall we still have two games, and if we win those two games we will be alright,” the Frenchman said.

Arsenal are currently third with 67 points, three behind Tottenham who come in at second.

A fourth place finish would mean having to play a qualifying round to reach the group stages.
