Arsene Wenger has told
Bolton they have little chance of finishing in fourth after their
failure to beat Everton.
The Trotters visit Emirates Stadium on Saturday in a key match for
determining the UEFA Champions League places, but they could have
been making the trip to North London equal on points with Arsenal
had they not been held to a 1-1 draw on Monday.
Wenger's team also extended their poor run of form with a 0-0 draw
at Newcastle, and the Frenchman believes Bolton missed a glorious
chance to stake a strong claim for fourth place on Easter
Monday.
The Gunners are still two points clear with a game in hand as a
result, and Wenger is positive his side will all-but seal the final
Champions League spot by beating Bolton on home turf.
"I'm confident we will finish in the top four," said Wenger in The
newspaper.
"Bolton had a great chance to come back at us but only managed a
1-1 draw.
"So that keeps them a fair distance away and it's up to us to beat
them on Saturday, which I think we will.
"I am confident, in front of our own fans it is a game we will
win.
"We will find the resources because it is an important game that we
have to win.
"We will prepare well for that game. For the club and the players
and everyone, it's important we get back to the Champions
League."
