(Reuters) - Arsenal's hopes of finishing in the Premier League's top four and qualifying for the Champions League are still in their own hands despite losing ground over the weekend, manager Unai Emery said on Tuesday.
Arsenal, who were looking to move up to third over the weekend, now find themselves fifth in the table after Crystal Palace's 3-2 win at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
"We have it in our hands," Emery told reporters ahead of Wednesday's trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers."At the beginning of the season, after winter, we struggled in the table. We were in a worse position than we are now. Emery brushed aside suggestions that mid-table Wolves, who have nothing to play for this season, might take their foot off the pedal. The newly-promoted side have an impressive record against the top six teams, picking up 13 points so far.
"One is the motivation in the table for each player and one is the motivation against Arsenal. Every team wants to battle us because they respect us and also because it's important to try to win against us."
