Arsenal: Arsene Wenger admits pressure to gain top-four finish

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says the club's Champions League fate "is in our hands", but admits the "pressure is big".

The Gunners lie fourth in the Premier League and could face a play-off against Chelsea for the final automatic Champions League place - although failure to win against Newcastle on Sunday could see Tottenham push them to fifth and a place in the Europa League.

Wenger believes "no one expected us to be here" earlier in the year when Arsenal suffered a string of poor results, but is confident of victory in their final game of the season.
