Ian Wright has named the club who cannot afford to miss out on a top-four finish in the Premier League this season.
With six weeks left of the 2018-19 campaign, four teams – Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea – are battling it out for the last two Champions League places.
Arsenal climbed to third in the table on Monday evening as they clinched a 2-0 victory over Newcastle United.

Arsenal took a huge step in securing a top-four finish as they beat Newcastle at the Emirates on Monday thanks to goals from Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette.
Speaking after the win, Lacazette said: It was a big game tonight, a tough game. The coach said we had to be patient and efficient in the box and we did that.

The fans helped us to get third place. We work every day to be in third place, now we must stay in this position.
