  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.”

  Arsenal is on the top and having various key players on the injury list.
  
  So, arsenal will have to draw on the young players to tough it out for the coming xmas season.
  
  I guess Wenger is just commenting on maintaining the unbeaten streak and soften the pressure faced by his team.
  
  I think Wenger is also too lazy nowadays to get himself on the news for nothing.
  
  Since the departure of Jose, only Alex is maintaining his regular appearance on the press with his outburst on the match official and opponents.
  
  Ah Ben have learned his lesson to keep his temper down and keep his mouth shut towards the press cos his american boss cannot tahan a outspoken manager.
