Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are both in competition for a place in the Champions League spots.

Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno has told Sky Sports that he believes that Tottenham Hotspur will make the top four.

Tottenham and Arsenal are competing against each other for a Champions League qualification spot, with Chelsea and Manchester United also in the hunt.

And Leno believes that Spurs and Arsenal will be the final teams to make up the top four, alongside Manchester City and Liverpool.

“Manchester City first, because Liverpool also have the Champions League. Maybe they lose a little energy,” he said.

“I think at the end it will be us and I think Tottenham, because they have three home games.

“I don’t mind about the other teams, if we are in the top four everything is okay for me.”

Tottenham took a big step closer to securing their place in the top four by beating Brighton & Hove Albion last night.

Spurs relied on a late goal from Christian Eriksen to secure a 1-0 victory at White Hart Lane.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side are now four points clear of Arsenal, who are in fifth spot as things stand.

The Gunners do have a chance to close the gap later this evening though, as they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.
