Arsenal legend Pires confident of top-four finish?

Former Arsenal star Robert Pires believes Arsene Wenger's side can produce another top-four finish this season.

?The Gunners, who sit third on the Premier League table, are preparing for Monday night's FA Cup quarter-final with Manchester United before turning their attention back to the domestic competition.

?Pires, speaking on behalf of official FA Cup supporter William Hill, said that Arsenal need to at least grab a Champions League spot considering they sit so far behind league leaders Chelsea.

?"It was a good year last year because they won the FA Cup. It was important for their confidence. Then they spent a lot of money on Alexis Sanchez," said Pires.

"They have added some quality to the squad. But they are far behind Chelsea in the title race. They need to make sure they finish in the top four.

"But they will. They always do!"?
