Arsenal legend Nigel Winterburn says his old club will not make the top four.
Winterburn, 56, bagged three league titles in North London but fears for Mikel Arteta's side in this campaign.
He told FreeSuperTips: “Arsenal need to aim for the top four but I don't see it happening.
“The first ten games always give a good idea of where Arsenal will finish, they would like to go into the last few games of the season having a chance to be in the top four.
“Losing three of their first six games is not ideal and other teams are looking far better at this moment in time, with Arsenal already having to play catch-up.
“We will know halfway through the season where Arsenal will likely end up, but as a fan I do hope that come the end of the season they have a real chance of finishing in the top four.
“However, on current form and the way the team is playing I don't see that happening and we (Arsenal) will drop too many points and the better teams will pull away from the rest."
